Wilderness First Aid - 2 Day |
Wilderness First Aid Curriculum
Our Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course is designed to introduce you to the concepts of medical care in a wilderness setting. The course focuses on Basic Life Support skills, minor trauma, selected environmental topics, spine assessment and the ruling out process, allergic and toxic reactions, and “common” medical emergencies. The majority of time is spent in hands-on skills practice and simulations. Our Standard WFA is two days long.
