2. Zion National Park: You may come to the in-person course in Zion National Park in April. To view details of this, click here. You will register the same way below.at link at the very bottom of the page. The fee for this option is $80.

For either option, you will need to pass the Backpacking Medicine exam in order to pass the course/rotation. You cannot pass without studying. You have one attempt, it is timed and you must finish in one setting. Once you register below, you will be given the passcode to take the examination.
