SUMMARY:Wilderness First Aid Course
DESCRIPTION:Prepare for the unexpected with the NOLS Wilderness First Aid Course. In this hands-on training\, you’ll learn to assess patients\, treat common outdoor injuries\, and make smart evacuation decisions. Be ready to learn both indoors and outdoors—rain or shine! \nPrepare for the unexpected with this fun\, hands-on introduction to wilderness medicine. If you like to take short trips relatively close to medical resources\, enjoy weekend family outdoor activities\, or recreate outdoors\, this course is for you. \nYou’ll learn the Patient Assessment System\, how to provide effective first aid treatments for injuries and illnesses common in the outdoors\, how to manage environmental emergencies\, and how to make appropriate evacuation decisions. You will spend half your time practicing skills and participating in realistic scenarios. \nNOLS Wilderness Medicine’s WFA course is approved by such organizations as the American Camp Association\, the United States Coast Guard\, as well as other state and federal agencies. \nSuccessful course completion will earn the following NOLS Wilderness Medicine certifications: \n\nWilderness First Aid\nEpinephrine Auto-injector\n\nClass Format\nPlease plan on arriving by 7:45am. Course days run from 8:00am to 5:00pm with an hour-long break for lunch at noon. \nThe class format involves lectures integrated with practical scenarios\, case studies\, and skills practice sessions. Attendance is required at all classes. \nScenarios and practice sessions will take place both inside and outside. Bring outdoor clothing appropriate for lying on the potentially wet\, snowy\, or cold ground while playing the role of both rescuer and patient. Stage (moulage) blood and make-up are used to enhance the realism of a scenario. The classroom environment generally lends itself to a pair of indoor comfy shoes.
