Another great option for recertifying the wilderness portion of your Wilderness EMT is the Wilderness Upgrade for Medical Professionals course (WUMP). This is the best choice for students who are also seeking Continuing Education Units. The WUMP offers 48 hours of Continuing Education Units. You are required to submit a photocopy of both your Wilderness EMT card and your state or national EMT card on the first day of the course. If your wilderness certification is expired beyond the one year grace period then you may reenter by accomplishing ALL of the following: a) Hold a current State or National Registry EMT card b) Complete WMI’s Wilderness Upgrade for Medical Professionals course. Be advised that most WMI courses offer EMT Continuing Education Units (CEU’s). Your recertification choices offer the following CEUs: Wilderness Upgrade for Medical Professionals: 48 CEU hours Wilderness First Responder Recert: 18 CEU hours Wilderness Advanced First Aid: 32 CEU hours Please note: NO CEUs
