Why Don’t Panic?

Expert Instruction.

Taught by Sam Smolnisky, a Paramedic and SAR Director with real-world experience.

We provide gold-standard certifications through Desert Mountain Medicine (DMM) and the NREMT.

Hands-On Mastery.

No "death by PowerPoint." We use realistic, high-fidelity scenarios in the environments where you actually work and play.

Certified for Anywhere.

An austere environment mindset means mastering decision-making with limited resources. This way, you develop adaptability that applies to any situation—from the remote backcountry to the front lines of emergency medicine.
