Hybrid Wilderness First Responder

This course is offered by the Wilderness Medicine Training Center.

About this course

Our Wilderness First Responder course is designed for outdoor professionals, those taking multi-day or extended trips, and people involved with high-risk activities (rock climbing, whitewater paddling, mountaineering, etc.). WFR courses provide the ideal training for people who travel in remote locations, in challenging weather, with limited equipment, unreliable communication, and little or no access to outside assistance. WFR certification is the industry standard for outdoor guides and instructors. Graduates are trained to care for patients for extended periods and to make independent decisions about evacuation and resources.

Course delivery format: Hybrid

This course includes both the Online Module and In-person Session. You must complete the Online Module before attending the In-person Session. If you have already completed the Online Module through WMTC or another Sponsor, you can register for the In-person Session Only option.
