Adults preparing to take girls on an activity more than 30 minutes from an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) should take this course. This is a must for international travel, backpackers, and high adventure enthusiasts!
This 16-hour class takes place over two consecutive days, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Saturday and 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Sunday. The course provides a foundation of first aid principles and skills for individuals responding to remote emergencies when immediate emergency medical services will be delayed or are unavailable. This is a scenario based class, so there will be a lot of hands-on practice of skills.
Topics include primary and secondary assessments, practicing first aid skills in a wilderness setting, patient assessment, shock, bleeding, head, spinal injuries, wounds, burns, musculoskeletal injuries, heat and cold injuries, plus more!
