| WEMSI provides medical care to patients in the specialized prehospital situations of wilderness, backcountry, and other delayed and prolonged transportation contexts such as catastrophic disasters (referred to jointly as "the wilderness context"). |
| WEMSI also is involved in a curriculum project. The goal of the project is to produce teaching materials, and a textbook to be used to instruct persons, who are currently certified prehospital personnel (Emergency Medical Technicians, and Paramedics), in providing an appropriate level of medical care in the wild (where physicians, veterinarians, and hospitals are not readily available). Wilderness trained emergency medical personnel care for persons found in the wilderness (as a result of a search and rescue operation), as well as other members of their search party for periods ranging from several hours, to several days. |
