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.

Lesson Guides and Materials
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.
