Wilderness First Aid is the assessment of and treatment given to an ill or injured person in a remote environment where definitive care of a physician and/or rapid transport is not readily available. At this overnight course, students will learn how to assess, treat, and when possible, prevent medical and traumatic emergencies within the scope of their training. Time is the essential element distinguishing wilderness first aid from standard first aid. When calling EMS is not an immediate option, or when help could be an hour or even days away, the task of managing the injured and the ill will challenge you beyond the principles of first aid you will learn in this course. Ambassador Girl Scouts may also take this course. Prerequisites for this course include Adult CPR and AED. Basic first aid and outdoor camping training is recommended.
