Do you work, play, or travel in remote or wilderness settings?
For outdoor professionals and recreational explorers, a Wilderness First Responder certification is the gold standard in backcountry and remote medical preparedness. While traditional WFR courses focus exclusively on backcountry and wilderness settings, MED Remote Medicines’s 72-hour WFR is also perfect for anyone who works or plays in areas— even cities or towns— where quality clinics may be difficult to reach. A Wilderness First Responder course will teach you to assess patients, provide emergency medical care, and make difficult decisions in remote locations, in the backcountry and in your backyard. Contact us today to ask questions, learn more, or reserve your spot in our Wilderness First Responder course this fall!
