Description

Wilderness First Responder (WFR) is the definitive course in medical training for outdoor educators, guides, and others who work or play in remote areas. The curriculum is comprehensive and practical, including essential principles and skills required to assess and manage medical problems in isolated and extreme environments.
This is an intensive version of the standard course led by Wilderness Medical Associates and requires 30 hours of self-directed pre-course review of a textbook and completion of a study guide prior to 45 hours of in-person learning over the course of five days.
We recommend that students register for the course four weeks prior to the course start date to allow time to adequately complete the 30+ hours of pre-course work.
For more information, reach out to Michelle Leone, Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies Academic Advisor at recladvisor@brocku.ca.
Brock students may enrol in and earn the 0.5 credit RECL 3Q46 upon successful completion of the course. You must enroll in the course credit before taking the course.
Open to Brock students and community members.
Location – Thistle 253
