Wilderness First-Aid with CPR C - March 2020

The Wilderness First Aid course is a three day certified course in Tofino.

This course takes place over 3 days: Friday evening to Sunday. Only the Friday evening portion (CPR portion) of the course takes place inside. The rest of the course is run in the field with a focus on hands-on experience. Students will learn and practice spinal immobilization, building splints, building stretchers, carrying patients in a stretcher over rugged terrain, treating hypothermia, re-aligning fractures and dislocation as well as a variety of other wilderness rescue procedures. 

Most importantly the course develops student's abilities to help patients by developing wilderness emergency decision-making skills required to assess patients and make evacuation plans.
