Remote Medical Training Instructors

Hi everyone! My name is Philip Bohlmann. I am a Remote EMT and a medical student at Washington State University. In the past I have been involved in mountain rescue, ski patrol and International aid/disaster relief. 

Hi! I live in the Colorado mountains, but grew up in Idaho and started my adult life in Seattle. I love being outside and participating in all outdoor activities. The past 5 years I have been working as a ski patroller at Loveland ski area, teaching science and outdoor activities for Colorado Mountain College and teaching medicine. Currently, I am also in nursing school to further advance my medical knowledge. 

Sam Capeloto got his start in medicine working as a guide and outdoor educator. He led backpacking, day hiking, backcountry canoeing, and long-distance biking trips, where he was responsible for the health and safety of groups of people in remote environments. Since 2019 he has worked as an EMT, deploying to wildfires, Covid-19 quarantine sites, and a diversion center for people with substance abuse disorders in downtown Seattle. He is currently enrolled in nursing school at the University of Washington. His hobbies include bike touring, climbing, skiing, and backpacking.

I recently retired after 20 years in the Army and my current certifications include being a Nationally Registered Paramedic, Certified Tactical Paramedic, and Wilderness EMT. I spent ten years as an Army Special Forces Medical Sergeant and have treated everything from the common cold to multi-system trauma all over the world from the hospital environment to combat and everywhere in between. I enjoy the outdoors, playing the guitar, and spending what free time I have with my wife and four kids.

Patrick grew up in the suburbs of the Silicon Valley and began venturing into the mountains during his college years at UC Santa Cruz. Casual weekend backpacking trips laid the groundwork for what would become a full-fledged passion for mountain climbing. Over the last 10 years, Patrick has climbed and skied in a multitude of venues throughout the Sierra Nevada, Cascades, British Columbia, Patagonia, Alaska, and Himalaya. Patrick splits his year working as a professional ski patroller, mountain guide, ski guide, and wilderness medicine instructor; he plans on one day becoming a physician assistant specializing in emergency medicine. Patrick is currently working to earn his ski guide certification through the American Mountain Guides Association. 

Hello!  I am an advanced care paramedic and trauma nurse.  I have been with RMI (now RMT) for 11 years providing medical care and remote medical training all over the world. I also work on the emergency medical life flight helicopter in the mountain area of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.

Hey!  I’m delighted to be an instructor at your course.  I grew up in Sequim, WA but currently live in Maple Valley, WA.  I spend quite a bit of time outdoors climbing, hiking, trail running, biking and performing partner acrobatics.  My medical experience ranges from providing medical aid on events (like Tough Mudder) to recovering tissue in a hospital. I’m currently in Paramedic school to further my knowledge in Medicine.

From the United States to Nepal, Jonah Manning has shared his knowledge of remote medicine as a full-time instructor for Remote Medical International. His background includes working as an ER and Rescue Technician, as well as sailing solo around the world and thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. Jonah is now also in nursing school.

Megan joined Remote Medical in 2015 as an instructor and now works as our Program Director. She currently calls Glacier, WA, home, a small mountain town in the North Cascades. Megan has been working as a REMT since 2011, most recently volunteering with Glacier Fire and Rescue where she is the training officer. She also has 10 years of experience working as a professional ski patroller at both Mt Baker Ski Area and Crystal Mountain Resort. Additionally, Megan spent 6 summers guiding multi-week Sea Kayak expeditions around the San Juan Islands. When not in the classroom, Megan is happiest adventuring in her backyard. Find her skiing, mountain biking, and sea kayaking her way through the seasons. 

I am a traveller, mountaineer, medical provider, motorcyclist, artist, and always learning more. I have served on urban ambulances in King County, performed rural and expedition medicine on dirt bike expeditions in South East Asia, worked as an alpine and glacier guide in South East Alaska and New Zealand, and worked shipboard with National Geographic. At the core I am an adventurer so the list will keep growing, and I'll never stop learning and applying and adapting.
