Wilderness First Aid (Base Medical) - Mountaineers Seattle Program Center

This is the in-person class portion of the Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course taught by Base Medical, designed to provide elementary skills in remote medical care. The hybrid WFA course consists 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. You must complete the online instruction at least 48 hours before the in-person class. Please allow at least 8 hours to complete the online content. The curriculum emphasizes making sound decisions regarding patient treatment and evacuation in wilderness environments, as well as skills for extended care. The in-person session equips students with the skills and confidence to make remote medical care decisions. WFA is ideal for climbers, scramblers, and outdoor enthusiasts who operate away from definitive medical facilities. 10 Essentials (specifically First Aid kit) Gear you might carry while out Pen/pencil and note paper Wear clothing suitable for getting fake blood on Dress appropriately for outdoor scenarios Trip Reports The Mountaineers
