Integrated Intermediate and Wilderness First Aid

Wilderness First Aid training is appropriate for people who work, live or recreate in areas more than one hour from Emergency Medical Services (EMS).  Wilderness First Aid trains the candidate with a better understanding of the patients critical systems of the body: skeletal, nervous, cardiovascular, endocrine and muscular.  As well, the rescuer must learn to factor and deal with delayed rescue, environmental conditions, limited resources, and multiple casualties.  This training is appropriate for people driving between remote communities as it is for people working on the land.  The integrated course blends skills learned in Intermediate First Aid into Wilderness First Aid giving candidates more robust first aid training than Intermediate First Aid alone.
