Wilderness Medical Care provides training on how to appropriately manage illnesses when transport to the nearest treatment facility will take hours or days, due to being in remote rural locations, wilderness areas, or even urban areas during a disaster situation.

This 8-hour course is great for hikers, climbers, and outdoor enthusiasts, as well as Search & Rescue crews, Firefighters, and EMS personnel. Participants will learn assessment techniques and treatments for altitude illness, shock, heat illness, hypothermia, anaphylaxis, infection, and more.
