What is the RMAP Course?
The Remote Medicine for the Advanced Provider™ (RMAP) course trains Advanced Life Support (ALS) providers such as nurses, paramedics, physicians, and physician assistants on sophisticated, life-saving techniques developed for use in challenging and remote environments. This course is 6 days of in-person training and offers up to 56 hours of CAPCE-approved continuing education. Please refer to your state agency for complete recertification requirements.
The RMAP course is a specialized wilderness paramedic course that focuses on providing medical care in extreme and resource-limited environments. Participants learn how to handle emergency medical situations in locations where immediate hospital access is not available, such as remote wilderness areas, disaster zones, offshore environments, and military operations.
The course combines hands-on skill-building with real-world medical scenarios, ensuring that participants are fully prepared to manage critical care situations with minimal resources.
What You’ll Learn in the RMAP Course
As a participant in the RMAP program, you will gain advanced training in:
-
Prolonged Field Care (PFC): Managing patients for extended periods without immediate evacuation options.
-
Wilderness Trauma Management: Treating injuries in extreme conditions, including fractures, hemorrhage control, blood transfusions, and burns.
-
Advanced Airway and Respiratory Management: Techniques for stabilizing patients in high-risk environments.
-
Expedition and Tactical Medicine: Providing care in remote, high-risk settings such as search-and-rescue, offshore, and military operations.
-
Pharmacology for Remote Medicine: Administering medications in austere conditions where standard medical facilities are unavailable.

This training is particularly beneficial for paramedics, military medics, search-and-rescue personnel, physician assistants, nurses, doctors, and healthcare providers working in wilderness or disaster response settings.
NREMT Refresher Course for Paramedics

This allows experienced paramedics to maintain their credentials while learning advanced remote medicine techniques that go beyond traditional urban EMS training.
By completing this NREMT refresher course, participants can fulfill continuing education requirements while also gaining valuable skills in wilderness paramedic care. This makes the RMAP course a perfect option for those who want to maintain certification while expanding their ability to work in remote and challenging environments.
