Company Reorganization!
After 10 months of effort, we are now established as a Public Benefit Corporation in Colorado! This means we have a legal obligation to benefit the outdoor community as we grow our organization. We hope this ensures that Base Medical will continue to do good now and in the future. You can read our public benefit statement and our guiding inquisitions here.

While instructors must teach to meet the learning objectives defined by the SOE, we do not strictly dictate how you teach to prevent stifling creativity. There are many ways to teach a given topic. Below are simply suggestions taken from other instructors. Feel free to use these materials or experiment with a new approach. The ultimate goal is to meet the learning objectives and make it as interactive/hands-on for the students as much as possible.
