The Wilderness Medicine Program is a collaborative program with Virginia Tech Carilion Clinic Wilderness Medicine Fellowship where graduate promotoras (community health workers) are trained annually in wilderness first aid skills. This program is unique because it not only gives promotoras the chance to receive this advanced training in first aid skills, it also gives them the chance to earn income by helping train both local and visiting groups in wilderness first aid. In this way, we are also shifting the paradigm of global experience toward experiential learning and cultural exchange.
