Teaching experience

Alice (in red) teaches about spinal injury at Bango Falls in the remote Kimberly region of Australia's northwest outback.

WMI uses a combined classroom + scenario-based approach to be the leader in wilderness medicine education.   Alice teaches stand alone 2 or 2.5 day wilderness medicine courses or she integrates WMI curriculum into longer field expeditions allowing for skill development and immediate application in backcountry situations.  

​

WMI takes a deliberate approach to pedagogic skill development for its instructors.  Alice's experience in the WMI training program was her most fulfilling and effective experience to learn how to teach.  The compressed, immersive course formats require highly intentional instruction to allow students to retain the "firehose" of information and skill development over a 16 or 20 hour timeframe.  Teachers can't get away with sloppy, off-the-cuff instruction at WMI.
