UNM International Mountain Medicine Center

UNM International Mountain Medicine Center The UNM International Mountain Medicine Center trains community members and professional rescuers in mountain medicine and mountain rescue best practices.

We are active mountain recreationalists and professional mountain rescuers. We provide medical care for injured patients far away from an urban center as paramedics, physician assistants, physicians and nurses. We also train other community members and professionals to provide the same lifesaving care in extreme environments by teaching the Diploma in Mountain Medicine, Wilderness First Responder, Wilderness EMT Upgrade and Wilderness First Aid courses. We specialize in medicine and technical rescue, and we believe the best mountain rescuers provide optimal medical care and utilize advanced rope rescue skills. Come train with us and learn how we rescue in the mountains. www.unmmountainmed.com
