Capacity: ~16 participants
This SOLO WFA course is a nationally recognized, hands-on introduction to wilderness medicine and part of the Wilderness Medicine Education Collaborative (a professional organization formed to develop a consensus-driven scope of practice documents and de facto standards for wilderness certifications). It's designed for hikers, climbers, bikers, skiers, boaters, and anyone spending time in the backcountry who wants to be better prepared when help is not immediately available.
What you'll learn:
Patient assessment and decision-making in remote settings
Treatment of common backcountry injuries and illnesses
Wound care, splinting, and stabilization techniques
Managing environmental emergencies like hypothermia, heat illness, and altitude-related issues
Improvisation and evacuation considerations when you're far from help
The course emphasizes practical scenarios and real-world application so you leave with skills you can actually use.
Payment details:
Once we reach the minimum number of participants, we will confirm the course, collect payment, and officially register everyone.
