The Tahoe Rim Trail Association is offering a two-day wilderness first aid course.

The cost for the April 13-14 class is $195 for non-TRTA members and $175 for TRTA members.

The course will be taught by the Wilderness Medicine Institute of NOLS. This course will provide individuals with a foundation in first aid concepts critical to responding effectively to emergencies in a remote backcountry environment.

The WFA course will help people prepare for the unexpected. This fast paced, hands-on training is designed to meet the needs of trip leaders, camp staff, outdoor enthusiasts and individuals working in remote locations. Classroom lectures and demonstrations are combined with realistic scenarios with mock patients.

Participants must be at least 16.

Successful course completion earns you a WMI Wilderness First Aid certification.

This course may also be used to re-certify WMI Wilderness First Responder and WMI Wilderness EMT (wilderness portion only) certifications.
