We're finalizing all our prep for the Externship start on September 25th. Watch this space for updates on our adventures with #MD75 Laura Westneat and #MD76 Bret Naanep!
As a reminder of what's to come, last year #MD73 Brian Drury and #MD74 David Baskin traveled over 19,000 km in 4 weeks alone. Our journeys were by foot, climbing, rappelling & ascending rope, car, truck, ferry, UTV, helicopter, dune ambulance/response vehicle, canoe, pontoon, swimming, fire apparatus, bicycle, and raft. We trained at the highest and lowest ecosystems on the East Coast and with the newest and oldest EMS systems in the state. More than half our nights were spent in tents in the field. It’s a Toad Mad Ride for sure, and we are so excited to kick of the 2024 iteration!

Today was swiftwater rescue certification training on the James River in Virginia. #MD73 and #MD74 joined our friends at Blue Ridge Adventure Med and the VTC Wilderness Medicine Fellowship for training on swiftwater—a whole different set of technologies and skill sets than used for the wilderness lifeguard training they received earlier in the month. They also got some basic rafting skills and some raft time on the Maury and James Rivers. A great day in and on water!

Day 2 of the Cherokee ᏣᎳᎩ Module in the Qualla Boundary. #MD73 and #MD74 switched roles with Cherokee Volunteer Fire Department and Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians EMS for this second day. Another great day training in #ruralEMS and #tribalEMS as we honed the EMS side of our #WEMS skills! We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the entire team at Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians for being so generous with their time and training and opening their program to us. As we drove back across the Eastern Continental Divide we all agreed this feels like the beginning of something very special for the Externship, and we are already excited for next year!

Today was helo day for #MD73. While Dr. Brian Drury worked a 12-hour shift at the #HickoryNC base of MedCenter Air, #MD74 David Baskin had an academic day at our Externship #LaCasaVerde house working on readings and refining our 2023 lecture topic on #wildlandfires.

BRATT Day 5: the final day of the Basic Rescue And Technical Training (BRATT) class! We were proud to see #MD73 Brian Drury step up as incident commander for the final exercise. Great to see the whole class put everything together. After wrap-up, debrief, and gear stowage, the Externs were off to well-earned actual beds (not tents) tonight in Winston-Salem. Bonus round: they had a Zoom mentoring meeting tonight with #MD59 Sarah Frances McClure (EX16)!

As an experiential education program, we're big fans of "working the problem". Here, our intrepid Externs #MD73 Brian Drury, #MD74 David Baskin, and our Wake Forest Wilderness Medicine Fellow Stefanie Musick and EMS Fellows Memu-Iye Kamara and Siân Lewis-Bevan work the problem during rope ascension training. Like medicine, technical rescue training is part formal education and part pragmatic problem-solving on the fly. Today was the 2nd day of BRATT and the 2nd day of the Externship on the cliffs of Pilot Mountain State Park, and it was a great one!

And so it begins…
#MD73 Brian Drury, #MD74 David Baskin, and I have all arrived at Poplar Creek Farm just below Pilot Mountain State Park. Our first week of expeditionary camping begins here tonight, camping underneath the walnut trees and Carolina night sky. The Carolina Wilderness EMS Externship starts tomorrow morning with our 1-week BRATT module (Basic Rescue & Technical Training) held on Pilot Mountain, run by #MD53 Chris Davis.
When we expanded out of our Burke County environment in 2021 we made the entire state our classroom. Over the course of this 1 month medical school rotation our curriculum will take us to the highest point on the East Coast and the deepest gorge. We’ll sleep under the mountain skies and on beaches next to the Atlantic Ocean, with ten or more days of the rotation’s thirty days spent overnight in the field. I am estimating we will travel over 10,000 km by car, canoe, ferry, helicopter, and ambulance. We will work on an epic remote island where emergencies can only be evacuated by ferry or helicopter and spend two days learning about remote and austere medical and SAR operations within the Quallah Boundary with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. We’ll train 40 medical students in wilderness medicine skills at paddle-up only campgrounds and visit EMS stations accessible only by 4 wheel drive beach-modified ambulances. We’ll train in lakes, rivers, mountains, gorges, waterfalls, dunes, forests, and wilderness areas throughout the state overseen by a variety of state and federal authorities. There we’ll learn about being effective wilderness EMS practitioners and leaders in all those different environments. Most importantly, as an experiential education training program, there will be a vast curriculum still awaiting to unfold for us as we explore what the month brings.
Taking a cue from Outward Bound, we will be crew not passengers, and the entire month will be driven by esse quam videri values.
In short, it’s Externship time, y’all!!
