First Aid & Emergencyintermediate
Wilderness and Remote First Aid
Learn to assess and manage injuries and illnesses when professional help is far away or delayed for hours or days: extended patient assessment, improvised splinting and evacuation decisions, environmental emergencies, water and food safety in the backcountry, and long-term wound care. Knowledge-based training for hikers, guides, camp staff and outdoor professionals; it does not replace a hands-on Wilderness First Responder or Wilderness First Aid certification course where one is required for employment.
