Description:

This class is an excellent starting point for backcountry travelers with little or no medical background. The course covers the essentials of Wilderness Advanced First Aid including long term care considerations and the American Red Cross Wilderness Protocols. At least half of the training is hands-on and outside, with many opportunities to practice assessment and treatment techniques. The Wilderness Advanced First Aid course satisfies Forest Service requirements for backcountry guides in most jurisdictions and is recognized by the Coast Guard for the captain's license first-aid prerequisite. It is recommended for anyone who spends time hiking and paddling out of the reach of immediate medical care. Leads to Red Cross certification. Lab fee 4 will be assessed for this course.
