Zina Horman

Senior Medical Instructor

I have been fortunate enough to have grown up spending a lot of my time in the outdoors. Primarily recreating in the Wasatch range I split my time between Utah and Sweden with summers in the latter. During my attendance at the University of Utah I began guiding for the university’s outdoor programs, trips, and classes which brought that interest to center stage in my life. My main activities have always skiing and rafting which lent well to my initial careers in jackson ski patrolling in the winter and raft guiding in the summer. After some time guiding I decided to sharpen my medical skills with a Wilderness EMT class. This is where I truly found my passion for medicine; specifically, teaching medicine. I decided to pursue a career in teaching wilderness medicine and currently instruct for Jackson Hole Outdoor Leadership Institute teaching CPR, Wilderness first aid and first responder classes. When I’m not in the classroom, I can be found in another one: pursuing my path to becoming a PA. It is an honor to share the knowledge and experiences I have gained from my time in the outdoors and studying medicine. I’m excited to see you in class!
