Wilderness Medical Associates International, based in Portland, Maine, focuses on developing remote and practical medicine. It brings together medical and rescue professionals, researchers, educators, and advocates to design a curriculum for health care in low-resource and unconventional settings. The curriculum is overseen by a committee of medical practitioners and has been taught on all seven continents. In the education sector, the organization educates, trains, and consults for medical and non-medical professionals as well as recreationalists operating in remote or hostile environments. A recent development is a 2024 partnership with Dunes Learning Center to offer a Wilderness First Responder course.
