Search & Rescue-Wilderness EMT

Catalog description

This course will prepare the student to function in many search and rescue situations and improve missing person incident interoperability. The course will focus on responses to urban, rural, and wilderness environments. In addition to response, the student will be instructed in wilderness emergency care and will receive a Wilderness EMT upgrade certification if currently holding an EMT or Paramedic certification. Those not holding an EMT certification will receive a Wilderness First Responder certification. The course is taught over and above the minimum requirements of NASAR (National Association of Search and Rescue) for the SAR Technician-Level III certification and students can challenge the NASAR on-line exam upon completion of the course.
