As a team, we have a combined 96yrs of experience as health care providers, outdoor educators and practitioners. We are specialists in what we do and would love the opportunity to share our knowledge with you.

On another note, we have recently moved to Courtenay, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. We just want to thank the Spiritus community in the Lower Mainland. Your support of us over the last 10 yrs has not gone unnoticed and is much appreciated. It is so nice to hear your stories of how the skills and knowledge from one of our wilderness programs has decreased the morbidity and saved the life of someone special.

Wilderness or Austere Medicine

What is wilderness/preparedness/survival medicine?  "The practice of medicine in an environment or situation where standard medical care and facilities are unavailable, often by persons with no formal medical training". This includes medical care while trekking in third world countries, deep-water ocean sailing, isolated tramping and trekking, and following a large natural disaster or other catastrophe.
