Wilderness First Aid Certification

Recreation and Wellness Center

Wilderness First Aid (WFA) is for anyone who wants to learn life-saving skills in a variety of environments.

This course is designed for remote environments (outdoors, disaster, travel, rural areas) and focuses on improvising with limited resources. You will learn:

* How to recognize and effectively manage a medical emergency
* Treatment for a variety of injuries
* Bleeding and infection control
* Splinting fractures
* How to handle environmental emergencies such as heat exhaustion, lightning strikes, drowning, snake bites and more



WFA is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts; those who travel internationally or to remote areas for fieldwork, business or pleasure; homesteaders and individuals seeking greater self-sufficiency; people living in rural locations; students in the medical field who want hands-on training; and anyone interested in learning first aid skills. The knowledge and skills gained here are useful for everyone (including city dwellers who live within 10 minutes of a hospital!).

This course can also be used as a recertification for SOLO Wilderness First Responders.
