Prerequisites:
This

encourage to get their textbook as often as possible and begin reading
the first several chapters of the text. Those sections will still be
covered in class, however, starting these sections will improve student
success.

written approval but must be 18 within two years of course completion to
take the National Registry exams.
Aerie Backcountry Medicine
works diligently to have our students complete supplementary clinical
observations as part of this educational process. These opportunities
are limited to the varied availability of our clinical sites (local
ambulance, fire department, and hospitals).
