HPW 356 - Wilderness First Responder

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Human Performance and Wellness

Description:

Wilderness First Responder (WFR) courses are specifically designed to meet the needs of wilderness guides, expedition leaders, and outdoor instructors. They are the outdoor education and recreation industry standard for wilderness medical training. The course is taught by the Wilderness Medicine Training Center (WMTC), one of the leaders in wilderness medicine education. WMTC is the only wilderness medicine provider to offer a complete distance learning course in wilderness medicine. The distance learning WFR course has three distinct components: a didactic distance learning component, on-line testing, and an on-site practical session. You MUST complete the didactic material--using WMTC's text, field manual, and animated DVD--and on-line testing prior to attending the on-site practical session. The time required to complete the didactic material and testing ranges from 25-50 hours depending on the individual student. The five-day, 50-hour practical session completes the course with skills labs and simulations designed to fully align the academic work with practical application.
