Yosemite Bug will be holding a WFR course in the Bodie room from November 12th to the 20th. No certification is necessary as long as you are 16 or older. All materials and equipment needed are supplied with tuition. You can choose to pay tuition only to take the class here, or package deals are available for lodging and meals as well as tuition.
From the National Outdoor Leadership School, NOLS, website:
"This is a nationally recognized program that trains participants to respond to emergencies in remote settings.
The 80-hour curriculum includes standards for urban and extended care situations. Special topics include but are not limited to: wound management and infection, realigning fractures and dislocations, improvised splinting techniques, patient monitoring and long term management problems, up-to-date information on all environmental emergencies, plus advice on drug therapies. Emphasis is placed on prevention and decision-making, not the memorization of lists.
This course is designed specifically to provide you with the tools to make critical medical and evacuation decisions in remote locations. Half of your time will be spent completing practical skills, case studies and scenarios designed to challenge your decision making abilities. The WMI Adult CPR is included in this course."
