Robin Pope, PA-C
Instructor for Landmark Since: 2004
Courses Robin Instructs: Swiftwater Rescue and Whitewater Kayak
What are your "special" skills – your specific skill set that you contribute to Landmark?
I’m an instructor trainer-educator in swiftwater rescue and whitewater kayak, and am chair of the American Canoe Association’s Safety Education and Instruction Council. I was lead author for the ACA’s swiftwater rescue program and a contributing author for the ACA’s whitewater kayak program.
I’m also a physician assistant, with experience in emergency medicine and orthopedics.
What other outdoor company (ies) have you worked for?
I worked part time for Raleigh, NC’s Outdoor Adventure program for 5 years. I’ve also done a lot of teaching for local clubs and colleges.
Where are your favorite outdoor locations to visit?
Pretty much anywhere outside is great. If it involves water, it’s even better! However, if I had to pick only one place to go back to, it would probably be the Gerlache Strait, off the Antarctic Peninsula.
