COURSE IS FULL. TAKING REGISTRATIONS FOR WAITING LIST.
Whether you volunteer in developing countries, respond to disasters, practice medicine in hostile environments, work offshore, or just play far away from definitive care, you must develop a unique skill-set and a mind-set entirely different than your urban counterpart. Based on our collective experience providing ALS care in the most extreme environments in the world, the RMAP™ course was developed exclusively for experienced physicians, nurses, and paramedics .
Why choose the RMAP™ course by Remote Medical International?
The course is hands-on in a supportive atmosphere, and based on our experience and backed up by research in remote care. We use real equipment and simulators in a supportive atmosphere, backed up by the RMAP™ Promise.
By the end of the course you will:
Confidently manage a patient, by yourself, for multiple hours and/or days.
Conduct pre-planning, risk managements, manage legal issues, and address international travel issues.
Develop a mind-set appropriate for and unique to remote and austere settings.
Perform appropriate critical emergency skills, and decision-making skills unique to the remote setting.
