ABOUT US
As a nurse practitioner who worked in rural Alaska for almost twenty years, our founder saw both the need and the opportunity that Wilderness Medical Staffing now exists to serve. Across the continental Northwest and Alaska, we are helping rural communities obtain excellent care, while also offering medical providers the chance to experience the adventure of a lifetime. Taking a placement with Wilderness Medical Staffing begins a journey of discovery, healing, and excitement that will change lives in amazing and unexpected ways.

“You take good care of me and my people. You are one of us now.” These words were shared with WMS-contracted provider Michael Molnar, PA, (our 2025 provider of the year) as a patient entrusted him with items connected to the ancient Bering land bridge — pieces carrying thousands of years of history.

Among them:
-a carved walrus skull (a more modern piece),
-a walrus tooth shaped into a spoon,
-several small arrowheads and stone/wood tools,
-and a traditional qulliq oil-lamp stir stick.

Gifts like these are not souvenirs. They’re expressions of profound trust; something that can’t be rushed, assumed, or asked for. In remote communities at the edges of the world, trust grows slowly through presence, respect, and the kind of care that honors both the patient and their culture.

When that trust is extended, it is one of the deepest honors a clinician can experience.

If serving in a place where relationships run this deep speaks to you, start a conversation with our team.

Winter in Arctic Alaska hits a little different.

Thanks to WMS-contracted provider Annie M. for sharing these moments from life in the field; the quiet beauty, the harsh conditions, and the reality of what care looks like at the top of the world.

We’re proud to announce our 2025 WMS Provider of the Year: Michael Molnar, PA.

With more than 30 years in emergency medicine, Michael is a paramedic-turned-PA whose calm presence, clinical excellence, and deep humility have shaped care in some of the most remote communities in Alaska.

From solo practice in extreme weather to earning trust in rural and Indigenous communities, Michael embodies what it means to serve with consistency, respect, and heart. His stories remind us that great medicine isn’t just about skill; it’s about showing up, again and again.

This recognition is especially meaningful because Michael was overwhelmingly nominated not only by our internal team, but also by the clients who work alongside him — a true testament to the trust he’s earned in the field.

If you’re applying for rural locum tenens roles, your CV needs to do more than list your experience — it needs to show it at a glance. Many clients skim quickly, and if your hands-on skills don’t jump off the page, your application may get passed over (even when *we* know you’re qualified!)

Be sure to lead with rural, hands-on emergency, and primary care experience — make these impossible to miss. This will greatly improve your chances of being noticed for a role at one of our partner facilities.

Need a little green in your late-fall feed?

WMS-contracted NP Wayne D. is back on the move, and once again he’s traveling with none other than Miles the Moose. This time, they headed to Uganda with Wayne’s wife, where they met local community members, trekked with gorillas and chimps, and soaked in the lush sights.

Miles (and Wayne) might be one of our most well-traveled team members at this point… and we love it.

It’s also a great reminder of what rural locum work can offer:
🌍 Time + financial flexibility to travel when and where you’d like
🤝 Cultural competency that helps you connect with people anywhere in the world

Adventures in Medicine… sometimes far beyond our own borders.
