The WILDERNESS FIRST RESPONDER COURSE IS ESSENTIAL IF YOU WORK OR
RECREATE IN THE OUTDOORS OR IN OTHER AUSTERE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE ACCESS
TO MEDICAL CARE IS DELAYED OR COMMUNICATION IS UNRELIABLE. It is the
industry standard for professional guides, trip leaders, search and
rescue team members, outdoor recreationists, and international
travelers. Upon completion, you will be able to conduct a thorough
physical exam, obtain a patient history, assess vital signs, provide
emergency care in the WILDERNESS, and make crucial evacuation
decisions. During this fast-paced, engaging course, you will spend
half your time practicing skills and participating in realistic
scenarios, including a full-scale night mock rescue. NOLS Wilderness
Medicine’s nationally recognized curriculum encompasses a wide range
of topics including long-term patient care, wound management,
selective spine immobilization, reducing dislocations, litter
packaging, and epinephrine administration. Dynamic educators who have
practiced medicine in both wilderness and urban environments will
teach you skills and protocols to step forward in an emergency, and
you will finish the intensive 80-hour course with the tools and
confidence to manage patients in the backcountry for multiple days.
Upon successful course completion, you will earn the following NOLS
Wilderness Medicine certifications: Wilderness First Responder, Adult,
and Child CPR & Airway Management, and Epinephrine Auto-injector.
