Wilderness First Aid (WFA) - Everett

This is a Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course taught by Base Medical designed to provide elementary skills in remote medical care. This WFA course will be offered in a hybrid format consisting of 8 hours of online asynchronous instruction followed by an 8 hour in-person class held at the Mountaineers' Seattle Program Center. The course meets the Wilderness Medicine Education Collaborative (WMEC) Scope of Practice for WFA training.

The curriculum focuses on making sound decisions regarding patient treatment and evacuation in the wilderness environment as well as skills for extended care. The in-person portion of the course provides students with the skills and confidence for making remote medical care decisions. WFA is ideal for climbers, scramblers and other outdoor recreation enthusiasts who either work or play away from definitive medical facilities and support.
