Description

This course differs significantly from conventional EMS courses and other programs that are oriented towards the urban environment. In this course, the student will learn to deal with medical emergencies when help is miles away and dialing 911 is not an option. The student will prepare for emergency situations that involve prolonged patient care, severe environments, and improvised equipment. Wilderness First Responder is the definitive medical training course for all outdoor leaders and enthusiasts. Prerequisite: Students must be at least 16 years of age to participate in this course; 16-17 year olds must provide written proof of parental consent.
