WILDERNESS MEDICINE |
Do you enjoy spending time in the backcountry?
Do you know what to do if you are not able to call 911?
What if you or a friend was injured miles away from care?
You might consider taking a wilderness medicine course from Outdoor Adventures. You will learn how to handle these situations and many more! Outdoor Adventures is pleased to host Wilderness Medicine Training Center
courses. Outdoor Adventures offers two courses:
WILDERNESS FIRST AID
Ideal for individuals as well as groups and their leaders, this 27 hour program covers topics ranging from preparation and prevention to assessment and treatment. Classroom lectures and discussions are supplemented by practical work and problem-solving exercises. The emphasis is always on hands-on experience. Scenarios are an important part of this training. While much of the material appears to be standard emergency care information, the backcountry emphasis with long-term care and evacuation complications makes this course unique.

WILDERNESS FIRST RESPONDER
The Wilderness First Responder curriculum uses the principles of long-term care, improvised resources, and varying environmental conditions as the framework for learning. Created to provide outdoor leaders, guides, and rangers with the knowledge necessary to deal with crises in remote settings, this 80 hour certification course meets Department of Transportation National Standards for First Responder with additional protocols for extended-care situations. The intensive 80 hour curriculum takes place over nine days. To optimize learning potential class sessions are complimented with a variety of mock scenarios and simulations. The program is fast-paced and both intellectually and physically demanding.
Wilderness First Responder will be offered again May 2nd - May 10th, 2009. Course information will be posted here as it becomes available.
