Here’s the newest crew of Assistant Instructors — they just wrapped up a big week of intensive instructor training.
These healthcare and outdoor professionals from across the US and Canada can now start assistant instructing on Wilderness Medical Associates @wildmed courses.
It takes most instructors at least 1 year of teaching on various courses with different lead instructors, before they ‘upgrade’ to Lead Instructor status.
This apprenticeship model takes time — but it pays off as we learn so much from each other!
As many of you have experienced as learners on your Wilderness First Responder and Wilderness First Aid courses — teaching these programs involves pulling together a lot of pieces. It’s both challenging and highly rewarding work 🙂
The group stayed and trained at @cieletbois in Cantley, QC — 20 minutes from downtown Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 🍁
