Course Info:
Now that you know how to take care of yourself or someone else in a wilderness medical emergency and you have the skills and knowledge to spend an unplanned night in the backcountry, it’s time to tie all these skills together. This is a scenario based two-day overnight class that will test the student’s ability to properly treat a patient in a remote setting, successfully move the patient to a safe area, set up emergency overnight shelters, conduct long-term patient care, and develop and implement a comprehensive rescue plan. This class is designed for people that have a current Wilderness Medicine certification (WFA, WFR, or WEMT) and have completed our ERON 1 class. This is the perfect opportunity and environment to test, verify, and improve your skills when confronted with a patient in the backcountry.

Hand washing stations, potable water, and overhead cover will be provided. There is an outdoor cooking area that students can use to cook meals over an open fire. Keep in mind that we don’t have an alternative to the composting system. If using a composting toilet makes you significantly uncomfortable, then this class probably is not a good option for you.
