Program Outline
In this extension of the student’s Standard First Aid certification, students are introduced to the unique considerations of administering First Aid in a wilderness setting. Students are challenged to utilize a number of readily available natural materials to deliver aid in authentic wilderness scenarios. Please note that this program is most engaging if students have the foundational knowledge acquired through prior Standard First Aid certification. Although the fundamental considerations of wilderness first aid will be taught, this awareness course is not a substitute for advanced certification by recognized providers of Wilderness First Aid.
