Kurset er internasjonalt, men i regi av Nordland Legeforening.

Kurset gir en internasjonal sertifisering ved kurs slutt . Dette er det eneste kurset av sitt slag som holdes i Norge. Dette er et utvidet akuttmedisin kurs, der man skal håndtere akutte hendelser ute og tenke litt “ut av boksen“, improvisere og stole på egen kunnskap og ferdigheter. Det er mye praktisk trening, som og vil foregå ute i naturen, så kle deg etter årstiden!
