Upcoming Wilderness Medical Courses

Wilderness First Aid (WFA) is one of the most popular medical courses for beginners and advanced users alike.  It creates a solid foundation in the basics of backcountry medical care and when taken in secession skills are reinforced.

Wilderness First Aid is designed to meet the needs of first-aid training for anyone who works, travels, or spends time in rural or wilderness areas.

The curriculum covers standards of care for trauma and medical patients for urban situations with additional protocols for remote situations. Emphasis is placed on prevention and decision-making.

Certifications upon completion include: Stonehearth Open Learning Opportunities (SOLO) Wilderness First Aid. To stay current, you must repeat this course every two years. CPR is a separate component that is necessary for a WFA certification to be valid.
