Wilderness First Aid

Service Description

Wilderness environments create special situations not usually encountered in an urban or suburban environment.

This comprehensive 16-hour wilderness first aid course meets or exceeds the Boy Scouts of America Wilderness First Aid Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines, 2017 Edition. Information-filled slide presentation covering wilderness and remote first aid from a basic understanding of emergency response in an outdoor setting to specific techniques and considerations for a wide range of injuries and illnesses. Wilderness First Aid Classes topics include: • Preparation and Assessment • Preventing and Caring for Injuries and Illnesses • Environmental Hazards • Other Wilderness Considerations
