Adventure takes you off the beaten path-are you ready to respond when
it counts? Wilderness environments present unique challenges you won't
face in urban or suburban settings. With the HSI Wilderness First Aid
(WFA) certification class, first aid providers in a remote outdoor
setting will be better prepared to respond with limited resources,
care for people for longer duration, and make decisions about when and
how fast to evacuate an ill or injured person.
This
comprehensive hands-on 16-hour wilderness first aid course is for
people of all experience levels who recreate more than 30 minutes away
from EMS. You'll learn in a classroom as well as an outdoor setting,
regardless of weather. Course completion results in a HSI Wilderness
First Aid certification.
Wilderness First Aid class topics
include:
- Preparation and assessment
- Preventing and
caring for injuries and illnesses
- Environmental hazards
- Other wilderness considerations
Bring lunch, snacks, and
water. Wear comfortable weather-appropriate clothing and closed-toe shoes.
