Our Wilderness First Aid program is divided into 3 different level of care, the 20h Wilderness First Aid (WFA), the 40h Wilderness Advanced First Aid (WAFA) and the 80h Wilderness First Responder (WFR).
All levels focus on the basics of safely preparing and transporting patients and managing life and limb threats in remote environments, with a focus on the injuries common to various sports such as mountain biking, ski touring, climbing, rafting and extrication techniques.
The training also Includes prevention and treatment of common environmental problems like hypothermia and heat related illnesses, as well as covering common medical emergencies, choking, drowning and includes a CPR certification from the LifeSaving Society.
Our curriculum is based on the guidelines followed by the Wilderness Medical Society (WMS) and the Wilderness Medicine Education Collaborative (WMEC).
