ABOUT US
As a nurse practitioner who worked in rural Alaska for almost twenty years, our founder saw both the need and the opportunity that Wilderness Medical Staffing now exists to serve. Across the continental Northwest and Alaska, we are helping rural communities obtain excellent care, while also offering medical providers the chance to experience the adventure of a lifetime. Taking a placement with Wilderness Medical Staffing begins a journey of discovery, healing, and excitement that will change lives in amazing and unexpected ways.

We’re excited to announce a new addition to our provider education offerings:

WMS Wildlife Response Training (WRT)

Modeled after ATLS and other standardized courses, this training is designed to prepare providers for real-world scenarios in rural and remote settings.

Course topics include:
• Moose right-of-way protocols (you will not win)
• Bear encounter de-escalation (eye contact: yes or no?)
• Food chain hierarchy (you're no longer at the top)
• Lunch break risk assessment (can you go fishing right now?)
• Advanced wild cooking: walrus stew
• Mastering bird calls: the ptarmigan “AWEBO”

This course will be strongly recommended for providers heading to Alaska and other remote regions.

…Just kidding.
But honestly, some of this might come in handy.

Happy April Fools from WMS 🫎

In rural healthcare, relationships matter.

Patients aren’t just looking for care. They’re seeking connection, trust, and understanding; which leads to true healing.

Our very own Kayla Spors shares her perspective on cultural fit in a recent article by Locumpedia.

A friendly reminder that “spring” in Alaska can look a little different ❄️

WMS-contracted provider Michelle H., NP, shared these photos from her assignment in Southeast Alaska, where winter is still holding on well into March. Icicles, snow, grey skies… and even ski days.

If you’re heading north for an upcoming assignment, it’s a good reminder that conditions can stay wintery longer than expected, and travel may still be impacted!

Alaska (and the providers who work there) are built different.

In Southwest Alaska, community extends beyond the clinic walls.

Ashley C., NP, taking a moment to connect with one of the friendliest locals around. These village dogs are part of daily life, and for many providers, small moments like this make assignments even more meaningful.

Rural healthcare is about relationships. Sometimes that includes four-legged ones.
