Advanced Wilderness First Aid

Wilderness Medicine Outfitters director, Carl Weil (a 3rd generation guide), had two nontraditional desires upon graduating college. One was to teach what now is referred to as wilderness medicine. He succeeded at both and started teaching advanced first aid /back country care to ski patrollers in 1967 at Colorado State University. Mr. Weil in 2006 became the first non-physician to earn the degree of "Fellow" from the Academy of Wilderness Medicine which is the educational arm of the 3,000 member Wilderness Medical Society. In 2012 he was the first to complete the three plus year work earning the degree of Master Fellow degree by the WMS.
