About Us
Our Story
The Outdoor Adventure Medicine Institute was founded in the alpine peaks of the Tahoe Basin in 2019 by Dr. Jenevieve Peecher. Initially based in Stateline, Nevada, the Institute began with Wilderness First Responder courses designed to prepare individuals for the challenges of remote and austere environments.
From the outset, the vision has been to deliver world-class wilderness emergency medicine education in an environment that fosters professionalism, confidence, and a supportive learning culture. The Institute emphasizes not only technical expertise but also the importance of creating a space where students feel comfortable engaging fully in the learning process.
Since its beginnings in the Lake Tahoe region, the Outdoor Adventure Medicine Institute has expanded its reach across the United States, continuing to provide exceptional training for outdoor professionals, state agencies, youth organizations, and wilderness enthusiasts.
