This is a very intense program with no rest for the weary. After coming out of the snowy mountains, students began their four-week Wilderness EMT training in ernest. Right off the bat, we had Dr. Brad Bennett, an international authority on hemorrhage control, bring the students up to date on the latest developments in hemostatic agents, tourniquets and heat illness. He and Dr. Greg Moore, Aerie's Medical Advisor from day one, a hospital Chief of Staff and a practicing Emergency Room physician, took the lead giving students an incredible start to their WEMT. Lead instructors Ellie Thompson, James Pyke and Josh Olsen provide the backbone for the program as we work through four weeks of scenarios, didactic presentations and clinical observations in local emergency rooms and ambulances.
