The most comprehensive, relevant, and realistic first aid training for seasonal outdoor activities or short-term activities in nature.

Wilderness First Aid is a two-day introduction to general medical concepts and basic life support techniques. It is designed for outdoor enthusiasts on day trips or short adventures. The course is taught by professional instructors experienced in patient care and backcountry operations.

Course Content The intended target audience is seasonal outdoor personnel and those involved in recreational excursions in nature. The course content addresses the anticipated medical needs of these communities. Patient assessment exercises and simulations will be specific to the group, the environment, and the context of the operations or activities being conducted in the field.

Given the short duration of this course, emphasis is placed on practical activities, including exercises, as the primary learning tool, as opposed to lengthy theoretical presentations.

Optional topics for specific environments (altitude, tropical, scuba diving, offshore medicine, etc.) can be added to the WFA course content. Please speak to the office or instructor when scheduling training.
