In This Issue
In May we hosted our first Holistic Wilderness Medicine course at the Wave Products facility in Salt Lake City. This issue shares highlights from the weekend and introduces the team that taught it.
- Claudia Bouvier, DO: scene safety, environmental emergencies, wound care, and building a first aid kit
- Casey Odell, LPC: psychological first aid and trauma-informed care
- Anne Flower, DO: fractures, splinting, spine stabilization, and patient carries
- Astrid Haaland, MD: MARCH primary assessment and patient assessment
- Simulation leaders: TJ Hartridge, DO, and Laura Kenney, APRN, NP
A quiz with answers covers when a tourniquet is truly needed, what to say to someone in high distress after an event (hint: helping them name the emotion), and where to walk in a group in snake country. The issue closes with thanks to our hosts, Wave Products and Salt Fire, photographer Re Wikstrom, and every participant.
