Wilderness First Aid Instruction at The New Weis Center for Education, 30 March | Event in Ringwood | AllEvents.in About the event Wilderness First Aid Instruction at The New Weis Center for Education
Learn how to manage accident scenarios and provide first aid when you are in backcountry and emergency services are not close by.

About this Event

The WFA course covers:

  • What is back country first aid
  • What is the golden 24 hours
  • Splinting and bandaging
  • Prioritizing needs
  • Patient assessment
  • Patient care
  • How to improvise, modify, and adapt

The class is 16 hours in length and one must attend all 16 hours to be trained and certified in WFA. The class is fast paced in order to cover all the material and to get hands on practice through various scenarios. Previous first aid training is not necessary. Class size is limited in order to get the maximum time for hands on practice. Students are told to bring their full day packs and to learn how to use what they carry to deal with back country medical injuries/situations.

All registrants are required to have the following:

  • Masks or appropriate face coverings will be mandatory during the entire class;
  • All students must have their own bottle of hand cleaner or sanitizer
  • Students should bring latex gloves (dish washing gloves would be acceptable, but must be snug fitting)

This event is led by the chapter's Harriman Program Committee and Wilderness First Aid Committee Volunteer Leaders.
