Welcome...

Based in Missoula, Montana, Aerie trains over 1,500 students a year throughout the United States, Mexico and Central America. Our quality is unmatched. Aerie is the primary provider of wilderness medicine training for the Student Conservation Association; we train extensively with the US Forest Service Smokejumpers, state and federal land agencies, youth-at-risk programs and private individuals. We regularly present at regional, national and international conferences.

Aerie's success is no accident. Our unique combination of national prominence and relatively small size allow us to remain abreast of the latest industry trends while never overlooking our individual students. Aerie instructors translate their experiences as paramedics, RNs, EMTs, mountain guides, firefighters and ski patrollers into practical, invaluable instruction in wilderness and urban medicine. We emphasize prevention, treatment before a condition worsens, and accurate assessment skills so you can tell the difference between a field-treatable injury and one that requires immediate evacuation. Aerie courses also help students to deal effectively with the special demands of improvising care, providing longer term treatment, and the psychology of treating patients in remote locations.

From our first aid kits to wilderness medicine courses to our new division of urban medical classes , Aerie is committed to offering only quality services and products. With this quality, we support our students, staff and the communities where we teach. Aerie instructors are as comfortable teaching in the Mojave Desert as an air-conditioned classroom. You can enroll in one of our public courses, or we will travel to any location to train your staff. In most cases, there are no additional costs associated with having Aerie staff travel to your location. Please continue visiting our site for more information or contact our office.
