Wilderness Advanced First Aid is comprehensive medical training designed for remote professionals or wilderness leaders who venture into remote and challenging environments.
Wilderness Medicine differs significantly from standard first aid courses and other training that is oriented toward urban environments. This course teaches how to manage medical emergencies when hospitals and rescue services may not be available for an extended time period. We prepare students for emergency situations that involve prolonged patient care, severe environments, and improvised equipment.
Upon successful completion candidates will receive certification in Wilderness Advanced First Aid and Adult CPR.
No prior experience is required to take the WAFA course. Students must be at least 16 years old. Space is limited.
Notes:
- Materials will be in English with Thai powerpoint.
- Lunch is included.
- Please visit the CMRCA office if you would like to sign up and pay in person.
More information about course specifics is available on the WMA website.
