Austere Medicine Program 2023
“What will you do when there is no higher care?”
Austere Medicine is remote field medicine that can be practiced in the wilderness, in post-disaster situations and emergencies.
Our faculty of doctors and clinical herbalists integrate both worlds of medicine, and gear it primarily toward outdoor, remote and post-disaster environments.
As a result of our intensive and interactive austere medicine program, we create amazing herbalists with a foot in both the worlds of western orthodox medicine and practical clinical herbalism.
Here are our upcoming courses!
