At a jungle preserve and wildlife sanctuary, perform rescue simulations—including evacuations and spine stabilization—and master the skills needed to earn a Wilderness First Responder.
People come on this adventure not just because they like science and want to help people. They come here because they like adventure too: hiking through rainforests, tubing down a jungle river, spelunking and visiting ruins. This hands-on learning trek brings the push and pull of modern western medicine with ancient healing techniques to the forefront. Earn a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) Certification and then take skills learned in role-play scenarios and put them to use in real life. Travel to rural villages and spend time in hospitals and clinics. Educate Belizeans on public health issues, and yes, as cliché as it sounds, make a difference.
