During this fast-paced, engaging course, you will spend half your time outside of the classroom in realistic scenarios, including a full-scale night mock rescue. The internationally recognized NOLS Wilderness Medicine curriculum encompasses a wide range of topics including long-term patient care, wound management, straightening angulated fractures, reducing dislocations, litter packaging, and administering medications. The rigorous 80-hour curriculum is delivered by dynamic educators who have practiced medicine in both wilderness and urban environments. You will leave this course with the tools and confidence to manage patients in the backcountry for multiple days. This 10-day course is ideal for all professionals operating in remote environments. Adult and Child CPR & Airway Management certification is included. Note the course is 10 days long with one day off for a total of 9 days of instruction."

I think wfr is a great things to take. I took it at outward bounds a few years ago. I'm a first responder at home, but there are things beyond that that is covered. As a first responder at home, we're mainly there for the initial response and then assisting EMS. But wilderness first responders may have to give care for days.

NOLS is pretty solid instruction. That sounds like a great course.
