Itinerary:
20 hours of instruction from Rocky Mountain Adventure Medicine (4 hours on Friday evening, 8 hours on Saturday and 8 hours on Sunday) Includes certification for Basic (formerly Emergency) First Aid (for work, if needed) plus Remote first aid components Fully updated course content and resources, including a take-home Wilderness & Remote Field Guide filled with pictures, protocols, and the latest techniques. Learning activities and scenarios with real-life situations specifically designed for wilderness and remote environments. Sure it's in October but what else do you have to do during your shoulder season? You may as well get certified...I think it would be better done when potentially cold in grey bird weather so if something does happen that requires first aid on a bluebird windless day, you'll be in a better mindset. **Payment will be by invoice from treasurerrms@gmail.com** All registrants will be sent an invoice shortly after registration.
