WWU alums, Andrew Cull and Christine Avakian, lead the way for Remote Medical International.The idea for Remote Medical International started in Andrew Cull’s notebook during Organic Chemistry class at Western Washington University. Since it’s founding in 2003, Remote Medical International has maintained close ties with the University; 5 current employees are WWU graduates, and we work closely with the Outdoor Center to provide Wilderness First Aid and Wilderness First Responder courses in Bellingham. – WWU Alumni MagazineThe Western Washington University alumni magazine, The Window, recently published three articles about Remote Medical International and WWU grads that work here. It’s not hard to see why former WWU students fit so well within the Remote Medical community: both institutions emphasize hard work and wilderness adventure. In the graduate profile, Tripping the Life Fantastic, Phong Duong (’00) sums up what it’s like to work at Remote Medical. “Working at RMI is amazing,†he says. “Everyone is motivated, passionate, and energetic. Stepping into the office is like stepping onto the 3rd floor of Nash Hall all over again. Dogs run around, people play dodge ball at lunch, Rainier trips get planned, and we solve the world’s remote medical emergencies.â€
