Description

CEDN28 Wilderness First Aid (16 contact hours)
This program is designed for the person who frequently travels in the backcountry with friends or in small groups and who is seeking a basic level of competency in first aid. It is an introduction to the broad concepts of rendering care in a remote setting. The course includes Adult CPR and training in the use of epinephrine for allergic reactions. You can expect the course to be fairly intensive and to cover the most important aspects of wilderness medicine such as leadership, patient assessment and basic care. The course will be very experiential with lots of opportunity to practice in real-life simulations. No experience required. The majority of the course will be held outside in the elements rain or shine. 100% attendance is required.
