Participants will gain the advanced first aid and CPR skills required to work and respond to emergencies in remote or wilderness settings, and to provide urgent evacuation and, at times, extended care until organized health care can be accessed. Participants will develop advanced leadership and rescue decision-making skills. A significant part of the course is taught in a hands-on, outdoor setting and requires greater physical activity than typical first aid training.

This course is suitable for rescuers who specialize in decision-making, evacuation, and transport in a remote or wilderness setting. Suitable for those who work in remote emergency services, remote worksites, mariners, ski patrol, search and rescue etc.

Course participants are also eligible for Transport Canada Marine Advanced First Aid certificate, for an additional Transport Canada certification fee.

Coure Materials

The program is supported with the Red Cross new Professional Responder text, workbook, BLS field guide and a Wilderness Field Guide which is on waterproof paper. Also, a handout booklet with supplemental reading and case studies is used to enhance group specific needs. Wilderness first aid and First Response kits will be provided for simulations.

Duration 

80 hours, over 8 days. The program is a mix of classroom and experiential sessions and simulations/scenarios. Most evenings you will be expected to complete readings, case study and exercises. An evening will be devoted to an overnight scenario which will involve a short out-trip. Expect continual emergency and rescue simulations with mocked-up victims and stage blood.

If you are taking the course to re-certify your current WFR before it expires, please contact us for details and pricing.

Prerequisites

  • Participants must be at least 16 years of age and in good health and physical condition.
  • You will also be required to bring proper clothing for the location and time of year as 50 % or more of the program is outdoors regardless of weather. Our goal is to emulate as much as possible the learner’s “wilderness reality”. We find the more you can place the student in their environment the more effective the learning. Before the course begins you will receive a suggested list of what to bring. The idea is to use and test what you would be using in your WFR environment.

EKGs are difficult and I still don’t understand
Format: Paperback
Hey I’m in nursing school and I bought this… it’s not the pocket size, it’s actually a full size book. It brought tears to my eyes many times. I have no idea what a 3rd degree block is. Hopefully you can learn and be a good nurse! EKGs are for the doctors to read. So don’t be too hard on yourself. But you should probably know what normal sinus rhythm looks like… 👍🏼

My teacher thinks some of the ekgs are wrong
Format: Paperback
Can anyone put me in contact with the author of this book? My ekg/cardiology teacher is slandering her name and saying some of the rhythms she has in this book are wrong. Really upsets me because he is only a nurse and teaching a pre paramedic course. Doctors and cardiologist were the ones who cited this book. The rhythms are correct, my teacher just wants to think he is smarter than everyone else when it comes to cardiology. Otherwise I love this book and very helpful.

Excellent Book
Format: Paperback
As a nurse I struggle sometimes with rhythm recognition for some of the more complicated ones. This book is easy to read with many practice strips to help you comprehend even the complex details. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs to learn EKGs or brush up on their rhythm recognition skills. Great book!
