# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Wilderness First Aid Course
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 am – Sun, 18 Oct, 2026 at 05:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: This two-day course immerses participants in essential wilderness medicine procedures, preparing them to take immediate action when an outdoor activity doesn't go as planned and 911 responders are hours away. Time is split between interactive classroom sessions and hands-on field scenarios to prepare participants and help them quickly develop basic backcountry medical care skills. The course focuses on patient assessment, stabilization and emergency treatment of issues such as hypothermia and snakebites, as well as understanding when and how to attempt evacuation. Participants will emerge capable of calmly responding to a wide variety of emergency situations.

This course will be taught by Tom Burroughs, Director of Ozark Safety and Rescue Educators and team leader of the Washington County AR Search and Rescue team. Tom has been an emergency responder since 1990 and is a NREMT/WEMT and WildMed Instructor Trainer. 

Tom brings a background of many years of backcountry rescue experience and has been teaching these courses since 2006.

• All participants must wear clothing that can be stained and/or damaged, as the program is heavily hands-on and moulage will be used to promote training authenticity.

• Participants must be prepared to be outside for many of the training hours, regardless of weather conditions, unless conditions are hazardous (storms or extreme heat or cold).

• Participants should bring whatever items they commonly carry when doing their favorite outdoor activities, as improvisational concepts are an important aspect of this course.

• Ozark Safety and Rescue Educators (OSRE) provides all program supplies and a waterproof field guide which becomes the property of the participant, as part of the program cost.

Successful completion of the entire program results in a three-year nationally recognized Wilderness First Aid Certification through Sierra Rescue International, meeting the requirements of BSA, NICA, and the American Camp Association (as well as many others) for Wilderness First Aid Training.
