Basic and Advanced Wilderness First Aid

Our Wilderness Emergency Care classes prepare students for the type
of situation where dialing 911 or driving to the hospital is simply not an
option! Our classes are taught outdoors, where students have the
opportunity to participate in realistic medical and rescue scenarios
simulating those encountered in remote areas. Our classes and instructors
are certified through the American Safety and Health Institute. Our
faculty consists of E.M.T.'s, paramedics, nurses and physician assistants
with extensive experience in backcountry survival and air rescue
operations. All participants will receive a textbook and a course
completion card. |
