Upcoming RescueMED Training and Courses

Sharpen your clinical edge - where it counts most: off the grid and under pressure.

Are you a medical professional, medical student or outdoor professional looking to build the skills and confidence to manage patients when the usual resources are a long way away? Our Wilderness Rescue Medicine courses are hands-on, practical and designed around the realities of working in rural, remote, wilderness and austere environments.

You’ll work through patient assessment, wound care, trauma management, infectious disease and plenty of the decision-making that comes with treating patients when there’s no emergency department just down the road.

Our courses are supported by recognised accreditation and endorsements from the Wilderness Medicine Society, ACRRM, AEEM, ACEM, RNZCGP and RACGP, combining globally relevant clinical knowledge with the realities of working beyond the end of the road.

Your RescueMED Wilderness Rescue Medicine certification is valid for 2 years from the date of course completion. After that, it’s time to refresh your skills, update your knowledge and renew your certification - because wilderness medicine is not really a set and forget kind of skill.

Our Wilderness Rescue Medicine courses provide:

  • 31.75 ACRRM CPD hours
  • 34.25 ACEM CPD hours
  • 62 RNZCGP CPD points
  • 31 RACGP CPD hours
  • Wilderness Medicine Society Fellow credits 

Wilderness Rescue Medicine courses are also eligible for the ACRRM & RACGP Rural Procedural Grants Programs.
