Full Course DescriptionThe Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course is the ideal medical training for anyone who spends a lot of time outside! This includes serious outdoor enthusiasts, outdoor educators, wilderness guides, members of the military, professional search and rescue teams, wildland firefighters, researchers, and those involved in disaster relief. The course provides essential training in wilderness medicine, leadership, and critical thinking for professionals and leaders working and traveling in outdoor, low-resource, and remote environments. The WFR curriculum is both comprehensive and practical and involves a minimum of 70 hours of instruction when taught in the United States (hours vary slightly in other countries). During the course, students learn the essential principles and skills required to assess and manage medical problems in isolated and extreme environments for days and weeks if necessary. To earn certification, students must meet the criteria set forth in our Functional Position Description as well as the minimum WFR performance and testing standards by the last day of course. Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive a Wilderness First Responder certification and certification of CPR taught to an equivalent health care provider level.

Take your wilderness skills to the next level in the outdoor mecca of the Eastern Sierra. With snow-capped mountains, skiing, climbing, and camping galore, it’s a great place to soak in new skills.
