The Tacoma Wilderness First Aid Course is 16 hours and designed to provide elementary skills in remote care. Based on recommendations from the Wilderness Medical Society and evidence-based research, our curriculum focuses on making sound decisions regarding patient evacuation, as well as skills for extended care. The Wilderness First Aid courses are hands-on, experiential format providing students with the skills and confidence for making remote medical care decisions.
Wilderness First Aid is ideal for outdoor recreation enthusiasts, backpackers, climbers, scramblers, and wilderness travelers who either work or play away from definitive medical facilities and support.
Students will receive the Wilderness First Aid Student Handbook, from Remote Medical International and certification in Wilderness First Aid. The Wilderness First Aid Course fulfills all Tacoma/Seattle Mountaineers climbing/scrambling course first aid requirements and "MOFA refresher" requirements previously required under Mountain Oriented First Aid.
