Hello All,
So I'm trying to chart out my (hopefully soon) schooling and would love to attend one of the Wilderness EMT courses. However, there are quite a few out there. I've gone through Wilderness Medical Associates, Remote Medicine's, National Outdoor Leadership School's, Aerie's, and Stonehearth Open Learning Opportunity's sites. I've also Googled what I could and searched through this site's threads and posted the same question on EMT Life and Fire Fighter Nation with no responses yet. Eventually I hope to take one of the Wilderness Advanced Life Support classes through one of those providers, but that's several years off yet. If anyone has any information or has attended any of these I would welcome your input and views!
One of my MD friends is a fellow thru wilderness medical society and an instructor for AWLS. He speaks very highly of it. As far as non advanced provider courses either NOLS or SOLO are the two I have heard the most good about.

Career-wise, Nursing but I want to snag EMT (at the highest level I can fit in) while I'm going through school. While it may not be an absolute necessity, a WEMT course would certainly be beneficial as a volunteer as both a CAP member and a volunteer Firefighter. Once I get into Nursing we'll see where things go. Ideally, I would like to take a WALS class from the same provider once I am eligible.
