Wilderness and Remote First Aid
Wilderness First Aid class is a must for anyone who spends time in the outdoors where help is not readily available. It provides individuals a foundation of first aid knowledge and skills to be able to respond to emergencies and give care in areas that do not have immediate emergency medical services (EMS) response, such as wilderness and remote environments. In this course you will also develop leadership skills and learn how to prevent, plan for and respond to emergencies. It includes training on what to do in the case of Head (Brain), Neck and Spinal Injuries, Heat-Related Emergencies, Hypothermia, Altitude-Related Illnesses, Allergies and Anaphylaxis, Burns, Bone and Joint Injuries, Wounds and Wound Infection. Immediate care can help save lives and prevent serious injuries. Current CPR certification is a pre-requisite.
