                                        _General Information

                                        _Our Wilderness Advanced First Aid courses are designed for the recreational public who wish to learn more about lightning injuries, wilderness toxins, and treating spine injured patients than is covered in our Wilderness First Aid courses AND for day and weekend trip leaders in college or university outdoor programs. While the Wilderness First Responder is recommended for professional guides, instructors, and expedition leaders, the Wilderness Advanced First Aid meets most state licensing requirements for first aid certification and includes Wilderness Medicine Training Center adult & child CPR certification.

                                        The Wilderness Medicine Training Center is the only wilderness medicine provider who offers both standard and hybrid Wilderness Advanced First Aid courses using teaching and learning strategies that inform one another. The result is a choice of format and pedagogy that meets your needs; either course may be used to recertify WFR, and WEMT certifications with the successful completion of our on-line Recertification exam.
