Catalog

During disaster wilderness or outdoor situations, training in wilderness medicine is essential. Wilderness First Responder (WFR) takes a thorough examination of the skills needed to assess and respond to emergencies. The course uses a hands-on approach in which students are trained to react competently in the kind of emergencies they may encounter. Many scenarios will be used so students have opportunity to critically think about injuries or illness. The course leads to Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification upon successfully passing the WFR exam.
