Wilderness medicine training is essential for professional guides as well as for anyone who enjoys taking family and friends out into nature or who lives in a remote environment. Having the skills to act promptly and competently can enable individuals to fully enjoy the wilderness, knowing they can respond confidently to any medical emergency that might occur.

FROM: Ed Husted, Chair TVC Academic Council
DATE: October 15, 2009
The TVC Academic Council met with Chuck Kuhns of the TVC Emergency Services program, who explained his goal in teaching the above new course: “Wilderness medicine training is essential for professional guides as well as anyone who enjoys taking family and friends out into nature or who lives in a remote environment.” While the format for the course is compressed into ten four-hour days, for a total of 40 contact hours, it will be “advertised” as “very intense, academically challenging training.” The compression meets the faculty senate guidelines of “no fewer than three days per credit.”
The council also, after consulting with the instructor for the course, recommended that the course be formatted as an entirely “lecture” course rather than as part lecture and part “lab” as initially presented to the council. While a portion of the student learning is accomplished in hands-on activities, the instructor is present with the students at all times and will provide guidance and assistance to them. While students are learning through hands-on activities, they are at all times under the supervision of the instructor. SYLLABUS
