Jonah Manning brings an exceptionally rare and powerful combination of advanced critical care medicine and elite wilderness leadership to the classroom. As a dual-credentialed Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Emergency Room (ER) Nurse, they possess a profound clinical mastery of high-acuity patient management, rapid trauma resuscitation, and advanced life support. However, Jonah’s expertise extends far beyond the controlled environment of a hospital. With an extensive prehospital background as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Technical Rescue Technician, and professional Mountain Guide, they are equally adept at managing complex emergencies in extreme, vertical, and highly austere environments. For students, this extraordinary synthesis of top-tier hospital medicine and rugged backcountry rescue provides a uniquely comprehensive learning experience. Jonah expertly teaches learners not only the critical mechanics of life-saving interventions but also how to adapt those high-level clinical skills when resources are scarce, weather is severe, and definitive care is miles away.

The Journey to Remote Medicine
I was living alone on a small sail boat, and recognized that i needed something more than standard first aid to keep me safe when offshore.
Trail running, bike-packing, ski-mountaineering, packrafting... paddleboarding, ect. and so-forth
Teaching Philosopy
I enjoy facilitation, practical scenarios, and building off of the experiences and knowledge of the students.
Why I Choose to Teach
Why do I teach? .... because I love teaching. I love the people who take these courses, I love the environment and context of wilderness and remote medicine; I love pathophysiology; I love having a group of people who are interested in the same things I am. It feels like home.
