Patty Winters and CompanyDue to the popularity of this class, we have expanded it to 3-separate sessions.

Part 1 includes reviewing and critiquing moulage and its usefulness in teaching EMS classes. Parts 2 and 3 will be held on Friday during the breakout sessions.

Part 2 includes constructing injuries using moulage and Part 3 includes using those injuries in a scenario. How can you pass this up! Even better news, this class is being offered in the evening!!

— Wilderness Medicine in the Dark —Kirk and Margaret Mittleman

ANOTHER EVENING CLASS! Join Kirk and Margaret for an evening of extra challenges by doing a wildness rescue at night.
