WILDERNESS
FIRST AID
By The American Safety and Health Institute &
Northwest Response
Wilderness First Aid.
Wilderness environments create special situations not usually encountered in an urban or suburban environment. With an ASHI Wilderness First Aid class, first aid providers in a remote outdoor setting will be better prepared to respond when faced with limited resources, longer times to care for someone, and decisions about when and how fast to evacuate an ill or injured person. This comprehensive 16-hour wilderness first aid course meets or exceeds the Boy Scouts of America Wilderness First Aid Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines, 2017 Edition.
Training Considerations
Wilderness First Aid is available for groups of 5 or more. 10 students is our cut off point for a single instructor. 10 or more students requires an additional instructor, and will incur an additional fee. The course is not available for open enrollment at this time.
