This Wilderness First Aid course is hands on and scenario based (there are no written tests, only practical tests of knowledge). The course will begin with a review and assessment of first aid knowledge. After the initial assessment the instructors will work to alter the course to suit the level of the participants, while still meeting the requirements of the certifying agency. Topics to be covered are as follows:

Sprains
Diabetes
Dislocations
Severe bleeds burns
Open and closed fractures
Abdominal injuries
Head and spinal injury
Chest injuries, including breathing emergencies
Hypothermia, and other environmental injuries
Eye injuries
Allergies
Scene survey
Primary survey
Secondary survey
Emergency shelters
Improvised stretchers
Team care
Patient advocacy
Multiple casualty management
Critical incident stress
Fire lighting

Don't be worried of this sounds like a lot to cover in two days. We use teachable moments throughout the scenarios and debriefings after the scenarios to be sure that everyone understands what was done well and what can be improved on. The scenarios will become progressively more difficult, with the most difficult being the final scenario of the course. Evaluation is an ongoing process, so no need to be stressed out about a final exam.
