About: MEDIC, SOLO, GOPC, W.O., and BRMS
MEDIC:
- Stands for:
Medical Education: Do-it-yourself
Injury Care
- Is the corner of SOLO* in Virginia and surrounding states
- Offers the most in-depth 2-day first aid course one can find, with five
hours more hands-on practice and instruction than the standard 16-hour courses
out there -- often for a much lower price.
- The oldest continuously-operating school of wilderness medicine on the
planet.
- One of very few wilderness medical schools run by a physician, to
whom the Wilderness Medical Society (of mostly physicians) presented their
highest award, for his being a founding father of wilderness medicine on the
planet.
- Staff continuously develops
state-of-the-art evidence-based disaster, international travel, and wilderness medical science.
- Main campus in New Hampshire.
- Instructors live and teach throughout the USA and abroad.
- Great Outdoor Provision Co.: starting in 2016 with its 9 outdoor gear and apparel stores across North
Carolina and Virginia, and
- Walkabout Outfitter: starting in 2017 with its 6 outdoor gear
and apparel stores in other areas of Virginia,
- GOPC and W.O. chose and continue to partner with and sponsor MEDIC
to bring wilderness medical education to all of the communities they
serve. These sponsorships continue indefinitely, enabling folks to take
the Disaster + Travel + Wilderness First Aid certification course for $185 (as
of 2017) instead of the $265 another major outdoor retailer charges -- a
savings of $80 to community members. Moreover, as a further way to give
to their communities, for each class GOPC or W.O. and
MEDIC deliver together, they donate 10% of the proceeds to a local nonprofit
organization.
Blue Ridge Mountain Sports (BRMS):
- Starting in 2011 with its 12 outdoor gear and apparel stores across New
Jersey, Virginia, and Tennessee, BRMS chose to partner with and sponsor
MEDIC to bring wilderness medical education to all of the communities it
served. This wonderful partnership delivered 65 courses and lasted until
2016, when BRMS' stores closed down.
