Do you know what to do in a medical emergency if you are hours away from a doctor?
Get training in the management of acute emergencies in austere, humanitarian, disaster, wilderness, technical rescue, or crisis settings!
Medical emergencies in remote locations can be challenging and life threatening, unless you are trained and prepared. This 8 day course is designed to give you the skills, confidence and judgement to deal with medical emergencies, as well as the knowledge on how to evacuate patients to appropriate medical care.
This course is ideal for adventure travelers, aid workers, remote professionals, and trip leaders who operate in low-resource, remote and other austere environments where definitive care may be severely delayed or inaccessible.
This course will certify you for both Austere Emergency First Responder (AFR) as well as Wilderness First Responder (WFR).
Course Fee: $650 US. Includes lunch and coffee breaks.
