End Time: 18-Apr-10 5:30 PM
Location: University of Michigan Outdoor Adventures, Ann Arbor, MI 48104
Event Details:

Certification is through
the Wilderness Medicine Training Center (WMTC)

WMTC Wilderness First Aid workshops are designed to introduce participants to the concepts of medical care in a wilderness setting. The course focuses on Basic Life Support skills, minor trauma and selected environmental topics, the focused spine assessment and ruling out process, and allergic & toxic reactions. As with all our courses, the majority of time is spent in hands-on skills practice and simulations; lecture is limited to basic anatomy and physiology.

Our WFA courses are accepted by the American Camping Association (ACA) for camp programs that are close to standard EMS assistance and by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) including Philmont Scout Ranch. While the course includes instruction in adult CPR techniques, due to time constraints CPR certification is not included. 
This course may be used to recertify current WAFA, WFR, and WEMT certifications from accepted wilderness medicine providers. To receive certification graduates must register and complete the on-line Review & Recertification exam; there is a $25 fee for the on-line exam.

We have direct reciprocity with Wilderness Medicine Outfitters (WMO), First Lead, Aerie Backcountry Medicine, Desert Mountain Medicine (DMM), Sierra Rescue, Stonehearth Open Learning Opportunities (SOLO), Wilderness Medicine Institute of NOLS (WMI), and Wilderness Medical Associates (WMA).

Cost is $205 if registered before March 26; $245 after
