Wilderness Training (16-20 Hrs)

Overview
Wilderness environments create special situations not usually encountered in an urban or suburban environment. When a person becomes injured of ill in the wilderness, the time and distance to traditional emergency medical services may be hours or even days. First aid providers in a wilderness setting will be faced with limited resources, will have to care for a patient for a much longer time period, and must make decisions about when and how fast to evacuate a patient. The goal of this program is to provide learners a valuable and enjoyable hands-on training in wilderness first aid. The fundamental objective is to teach a simple, practical approach that helps students develop the knowledge, skill, and confidence to respond to and care for an injured or ill person in a wilderness environment for a n extended period of time.
