For those who are taking to the streets after this For those who are taking to the streets after this morning's news, here is a video from a couple of years ago where Sam pepper sprays himself and tests different products to neutralize and rates them on efficacy.

Use this knowledge to keep yourself safe out there, and remember to look for subtle signs of a street medic nearby if you need one. They may not be wearing the most obvious signage in order to not make themselves a target.

There are several warning signs to be on the lookout for and a few pointers for how to handle a bite if it happens.

These are great tips, but you can learn even more in-depth about how to handle bites & stings as well as other injuries or emergency situations in a few upcoming classes.

• Venomous Bites & Stings: This course teaches how to ID certain venomous critters and also ways to tend to their bites and stings.

• WFA/HFA: Our online hybrid Wilderness First Aid and optional Herbal First Aid component teaches students how to assess and stabilize any wounds when higher care is a ways away.

• Advanced WFA: This course goes even further in-depth into wilderness medicine and how to respond to emergency injuries.

• Austere Acute Care Medicine: Gives students the skills to assess and treat emergency injuries and illnesses in Austere conditions using both herbal and pharmaceutical medicine. (Co-taught by Sam Coffman and Dr. Steve Pehrson, MD)

Sam talks about our upcoming WFA and HFA course th Sam talks about our upcoming WFA and HFA course that starts today, but you can still jump in!

Our WFA (Wilderness First Aid) teaches students how to respond to injuries sustained in areas where higher care may be quite a ways away and victims need to be stabilized for transport. This skill can be life-saving in Austere or disaster areas, remote hiking and camping, or anywhere an ambulance isn't minutes away.

The HFA (Herbal First Aid) component can be added to incorporate herbal medicine.
These courses prepare students for the more advanced next step of Wilderness First Responder, which teaches more advanced skills.

If you're thinking of doing our HOME course, the WFA is a pre-requisite and there are a limited number of times to take this course before HOME in 2023!

What are we chatting about?

Our 2023 HOME course, which is a 13-day intensive on our NEW Taos, NM campus, has gotten a lot of inquiries, so we're using an Open House to answer those questions live and further discuss the course. If you've done WFA, WFR, or our Austere program, this is the melding of those and is going to be amazing. You can read more (link in stories) and also find our newly added FAQ.

The New Taos, NM Campus

We announced earlier this week that we're opening a second campus in Taos, NM! We gave a ton of info in our announcement video (view a few posts back if you missed it) but will answer some questions in our live Q&A that you may have and we didn't cover.

Of course, there's no cost to sign up for the Q&A! You can either save the zoom link or register for the free event, which will send you a reminder before it starts.

For those who can't make it, we will be posting the recording afterward, but it's best to attend live just in case your question isn't asked!

That being said, you don't need to smoosh every brown 8-legged creature you see, it may not be the dreaded Loxosceles reclusa! Check out this infographic to note some differences and help you identify when danger is near.

Regardless of the spider, it's best to be prepared to handle any venomous bite or sting! We have our Venomous Bites & Stings course coming up soon that will arm you with defenses against any nasty creature and teach you how to work with herbal medicine to combat their venom.

Here at The Human Path, inclusivity is our priorit Here at The Human Path, inclusivity is our priority. All for faculty, staff, and students, we strive to hold a safe space for those in the LGBTQIA+ community and provide allyship. A safe, supported space is the foundation for learning and is the most important part of being vulnerable at a community clinic.

Our support extends well beyond Pride month, especially with the roots of Pride month being in activism, and we're always boots on the ground any time we're needed to support as Herbal Medics.

Hi everyone, Suchil and I made a video while up in Hi everyone,
Suchil and I made a video while up in Taos, NM this last trip about what is going on in our lives and our plans with The Human Path/Herbal Medics Academy.

As a quick summary, we have been working on a move up to Taos to expand the school in that direction for a few years now, and we are finally ready to share what is going on now that it looks like we have a new property to expand into.

First of all, the San Antonio campus is not closing. We would like to continue especially fall/winter/spring courses on-site at that location. It is now owned by David Prickett and is both a nature preservation and event center. We have an agreement with David to continue using this location as our San Antonio campus for many years to come.

However, New Mexico is a much better state to open a full-time clinic in, as there are far more holistic health care freedoms. 
I am currently finishing up the last few hours of a Masters in Science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MSAOM) which allows me to take the board exams and a state clinical exam to become a licensed Traditional Chinese Medicine (herbs and acupuncture) in NM.

The primary plan is to have a full-time integrative clinic with western herbalism, TCM herbalism, acupuncture, western functional medicine, sports medicine, pain management, and other modalities offered. 

This will finally allow us to open up internships for our clinical and apothecary students who want to get hands-on training and clinical hours (i.e. toward AHG registered herbalist status, etc.) across an integrative clinical environment.

This location also allows us to move deeper into our austere medicine program with the first big on-site intensive that will happen about 14 months from now - the Herbal and Off-Grid Medical Experience (HOME), which is a culmination of off-grid and post-disaster medical clinic planning, Wilderness First Responder certification, austere trauma, and austere acute scenario-based training and setup and running of a live herbal clinic for an underserved community in the area.

We are working hard to create some really great new curricula and learning experiences over the next few years.

Our first on-site percolation workshop was a great success. Students got to set up large percolations with Rene there to answer all the questions and give guidance throughout the process while also sharing some great apothecary stories.

***Course revamp alert!*** Our upcoming round of ***Course revamp alert!***

Our upcoming round of Herbal Medicine for Professionals that starts in August will be totally revamped with new, updated material recorded by Sam.

This course is perfect for those who are new to herbal medicine and just beginning their path as well as anyone who has previously taken HMP and would like a refresh. Pair it with Sam's book that was released earlier this year and you're well on your way to a solid foundation in Herbal Medicine. It's the perfect starting point for either the Apothecarist, Clinical, or Austere path (or all 3 if you love learning all things herbal medicine!).

If you're in it for the long haul, reach out and we can bundle classes for your chosen path and help you save some cash. Email us at thehumanpathschool@gmail.com if this sounds perfect for you.
