Could you please recommend medical courses for blue water cruisers going to remote areas, that take place preferably on the west coast of the US and on weekends before 4/1/01? I’m aware of some excellent 2-week courses, but just can’t fit those into our schedule at this point. Thanks, Doanne
Hi Doanne: Sorry for the delay in answering. Been checking out this subject. A company called MedLink does exactly what you are asking about. They run three-day intensive training courses for airline, shipping and yacht personnel. They sometimes have courses in connection with boat shows. Costs run about $500 per person for the three day session, and the class is limited to eight students. The fellow to check with is:
Bill Mahaffy, PA-C
Maritime Product Manager MedLink

If you take the course, tell us what you think. Regards–Steve Dashew
