10 Day, 80 hour course. Essential for anyone who spends significant time in remote places, the WFR course will prepare you to make difficult medical decisions. Half your time you will spend outside of the classroom doing hands on skills and realistic scenarios. In addition, you’ll participate in a full-scale night mock rescue. WMI’s curriculum encompasses a wide range of topics including long term patient care, wound management, straightening angulated fractures, reducing dislocations, litter packaging and administering medications. You’ll complete this course with the tools and confidence to manage patients in the backcountry for multiple days.
