Our hearts go out to our Texas community after this tragedy. If you're looking for a way to help, there will be an emergency blood drive tomorrow through the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center in Uvalde. If you are local to the area, please consider donating. If you're in San Antonio, or other surrounding areas, please also consider donating at your nearest donation center - we've been in a months-long shortage.

Test your knowledge! The following is a scenario you may encounter while trying to render aid after a natural disaster, do you know what to do? Comment with your plan!

If not, you may want to jump into our upcoming online course Medical Advance Party (MAP).

One of our progression of classes has been:

1) Core Basic (5 day)
2) Land Navigation and Orienteering
3) Scout

...and in the early days we had an advanced scout after scout.
All of these courses were really focused on learning practical field skills particularly as it relates to the infrastructure required as a team to create medical care for post-disaster, underserved and remote communities.

Now you can get all of this information and experience distilled into one highly interactive, 8-week online course this summer, and even cap it off on-site with the HOME (Herbalism and Off-Grid Medicine Experience) course for hands-on training starting fall, 2023.

This online course is going to be a blast. You will get materials delivered to your door and be learning not just medical infrastructure and community outreach, but numerous practical skills - Map reading, knots, shelter, fire, logistical planning for a field clinic, water and hygiene, security, communications, and much more.

More information and registration in our stories!

Birth is a beautiful thing, but it doesn't always

Birth is a beautiful thing, but it doesn't always happen at an ideal time or location.
Perhaps you do a lot of community work in underdeveloped or underserved locations. Maybe you're a first responder in disaster zones. Or you just want to be ready for anything.

Whether you're a healthcare worker wanting to be prepared for any situation or an herbal clinician looking to add emergency birth skills to your skillset, this course will dive into the topics of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum topics, giving you the knowledge of what to do and what *not* to do in disaster and emergency situations.

The curriculum of this course is packed with information, including:

•Instruction and resources on Basic Pregnancy/Birth/Postpartum Care in austere and disaster situations

•Worldwide view of Pregnancy, Birth, and Postpartum during Disaster Situations

•The basics for Prenatal Care, Emergency Childbirth and Postpartum Care in disaster situations

•The most common problems/complaints/complications of pregnancy for each trimester with Lifestyle and nutritional recommendations

•Preparation and basics for emergency birth in austere or low-resource settings

*Prenatal Clinic or Mother/Baby Friendly site scenario that allows you and your classmates to plan for and successfully negotiate a real-world post-disaster scenario online

Percolation Tincture Workshop Mastering the perco

Percolation Tincture Workshop

Mastering the percolation tincturing method is one of the more challenging medicine-making processes.

Our Apothecary Manager Rene does so many of these every week, that next to Sam, we don't know of anyone more experienced.

Rene Mills Schultz will be doing a June 4th workshop to teach this technique in person at our San Antonio campus.
The class is limited to 12 students, and spots have already been claimed. If you want to get in this class, and go home with two formulas at the end along with lots of hands-on practice, make sure to register quickly!

Check out the video above to see Rene working on several percolations in the apothecary!

*we'll also have some of these larger percolation funnels for sale at the workshop while they last.

Would you like to be able to plan, prep, and run clinics or medical care off-grid?

This includes community outreach for the medically underserved, post-disaster medical assistance, rural and remote medical care, and more.

The Medical Advance Party (MAP) course is an 8-week, highly interactive online course created and taught by Sam Coffman and Rick Murphy.

It provides a foundation for our students who want to participate in our off-grid Herbal Medic clinics but is applicable for anyone who wants to work with medicine (be it orthodox, herbal, integrative) in austere or underserved environments.
Food and clean water, team gear, determining specific medical needs, route and security planning, basic camp skills, clinical infrastructure and much more.
Video, handouts, exercises, weekly live classes.

This online course is also one of the prerequisites for the Herbalism and Off-Grid Medicine Experience (HOME) and has 3-days of dedicated on-site time at the start of the 13-day HOME course that starts fall of 2023.
