Episode 8: Online And Outside of the Box

The conventional assumption is that wilderness medicine training
requires extensive hands-on practice, but what's a student to do
when they want to learn the craft but can't attend a course in
person? Can wilderness medical training be done online, and if
so, is it valid? What's the balance that should be struck between
skills training and didacticism in a body of knowledge that
emphasizes resource constraints?

We talk with Teal Harbin, a seasoned austere medical provider and
founder of Base Medical, the company she founded to bring
wilderness medical education to people who can't attend
traditional in-person courses.
