Wilderness Medicine Blended Learning Standards

The Base Medical Wilderness Medicine Blended Learning Standards (WM-BLS) serve to guide instructors in the delivery of a quality WFA or WFR course. These standards include the Scope of Education objectives, mandatory training topics, minimum training time, course policies, instructor requirements and more.

Instructors are free to adjust their courses to meet the needs of the students but must remain in compliance with the standards. The Scope of Education (SoE) will further guide your schedule and lesson plan design.
