Stonehearth Open Learning Opportunities (SOLO) is the oldest continuously operating school of wilderness medicine in the world. Learn how to manage an emergency in the backcountry from a SOLO certified instructor. This comprehensive two-day course is a fast paced, hands-on training program. It’s designed to meet the needs of hikers, skiers, hunters, fisherman, trip leaders, camp staff, and other outdoor enthusiasts who recreate in remote locations. It will introduce you to caring for people who become ill or injured far from definitive medical care. Lectures and demonstrations are combined with realistic scenarios where mock patients will challenge you to integrate your learning. At the end of the course, you’ll have the knowledge, skills, and ability to make sound decisions in emergency situations and receive a two-year SOLO WFA certification. This course may also act as a Wilderness First Responder Recertification class. If CPR is included, you will also receive a two-year SOLO CPR certification.
