OA Wilderness Advanced First Aid (WAFA) Course (Fall Break) (DAY 1)

Day 1 of 4 (registration for both days required).
___________________________________________________
Wilderness Advanced First Aid is comprehensive medical training designed for remote professionals or wilderness leaders who venture into remote and challenging environments. Wilderness Medicine differs significantly from standard first aid courses and other training that are oriented toward urban environments. This course teaches how to manage medical emergencies when hospitals and rescue services may not be available for an extensive time period. We prepare students for emergency situations that involve prolonged patient care, severe environments, and improvised equipment.

This course will be taught by professionals from Wilderness Medical Associates. After successful completion of all course requirements, participants will be issued a WMA Wilderness Advanced First Aid certification, which includes CPR certification.

This is a 36-hour course split across 4 days. In order to become certified, 100% attendance of all 4 days is required. This fulfills the first aid (and CPR) training component for OA Leaders.
