Wilderness First Responder

Trip Description

An even more intensive backcountry medical training course than the WFA held at the University of Georgia’s Ramsey Center. This 72-hour, hands-on course will show students how to deal with medical emergencies when they are miles from help and dialing 911 is not an option. Professional instructors from Wilderness Medical Associates will introduce students to the basic ideas of medicine for the field, whether the field is a national park or the high seas. This course is recommended for all outdoor enthusiasts and others who spend time in remote areas. Graduates will be certified by Wilderness Medical Associates. More details concerning this course will be issued to participants upon sign-up. More information about the First Responder course and about Wilderness Medical Associates is available at www.wildmed.com. Camping is available at Lake Herrick at no additional cost. Parking is free all week.
