This highly experiential 16-hour class is for individuals who want to learn how to handle emergency medical situations in the backcountry. It covers basic wilderness first aid topics such as patient assessment, shock and bleeding, head and spinal injuries, wounds, heat and cold illnesses, and much more. Wilderness First Aid certification is available after successful completion of the course and wilderness exam. The course is instructed by Katryna Anderson with Safety Training Pros & Foster Calm (https://safetytrainingpros.com/).
