SOLO Wilderness First Responder

SOLO Wilderness First Responder is an Outdoors Program/Recreational Athletics class taught by Guy deBrun.

Course Description
Wilderness medicine differs significantly from standard Red Cross courses and other programs that are oriented toward the urban environment. The WFR is a comprehensive and in-depth look at the standards and skills of dealing with; Response and Assessment, Musculoskeletal Injuries, Environmental Emergencies and Survival Skills, Soft Tissue Injuries and Medical Emergencies. You will learn to deal with medical emergencies when help is miles away and dialing 911 is not an option. Although these appear to be the same basic topics covered in our two-day Wilderness First Aid course, they are covered far more extensively, and there is much more hands-on practice. This is the accepted standard for outdoor professionals in the first aid field. Students wishing to obtain SOLO certification will be subject to an additional fee, details at the first class.
