Wilderness Medicine FAQs
Who is teaching my Wilderness Medicine course?
One of the awesome instructors from theWilderness Medical Associates International! When course access information is distributed 8-weeks prior to the course start, we will provide information about the instructor team.
Is food being served?
Yes – food, snacks, and hot drinks will be provided for all courses hosted by HIOBS. Food will be available from Lunch on Day One thru Lunch on the last day of your course.
Can my dietary restrictions be accommodated?
In most cases, yes. Please make note of them when registering for the course and we will follow up with you if we have any specific questions. If you have a very restrictive diet it is recommended that you bring some snacks and extra food for supplementary purposes.
Is the price the same even if I am sleeping off-site?
Yes.
How will I know where I am sleeping?
About a week before the course, we will email you with your housing assignment and additional information about the basecamp. Cabin spaces are distributed on a first come/first served basis.
Can I arrive the night before the course start?
Yes – in some cases we can accommodate those that are traveling from a great distance to attend the course. Email [email protected] for approval.
How will the instructors be mitigating the risk of COVID-19 while teaching?
We are continuing to monitor the COVID landscape in Maine and will provide more information when course information is distributed. Please see WMA’s page for COVID updates on how they are conducting in-person courses: https://www.wildmed.com/wmai-covid-19-update/
What is the cancellation policy?
HIOBS will refund your course tuition in full up to 30 days before the course start. Outside of that, refunds will only be made if we are able to find someone to fill your spot on the course.
