Description

Wilderness First Aid Certification Course This course will teach you to identify and manage life-threatening injuries and knowledge and skills to identify and treat injuries and illnesses when Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is hours away. No prior medical experience is required. Upon successful completion of the course, you will earn an internationally recognized, two-year Wilderness First Aid certification. This course meets NICA and BSA’s requirements for WFA training and is accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA) under the ACA’s standard “HW.2.2/ST.3.2 First Aid & Emergency Care Personnel”. This course is unique. I use a method that does not just teach first aid - my method illustrates Wilderness First Aid using intuitive, easy-to-understand diagrams that will help you remember. To write my book, I purchased textbooks from all of the major Wilderness Medical Schools and publications from the Wilderness Medical Society. From those books, - thousands of pages of text - I created 40 Wilderness First Aid patient care checklists. I then converted those checklists into easy to understand “medical algorithms” - patient care flow diagrams - and then published them in my book, Wilderness First Aid Made Easy. I use algorithms throughout this course and my onsite courses to enable students to visualize and remember the patient care process. Every student receives a free copy of my book and my book includes QR Code access to the lectures in this course. Watch the video to learn more about the book. Jeffrey S. Imel, WEMT, NREMT Emergency Medical Services Educator I am a National Registry Emergency Medical Technician, Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician and author of three books, First Aid Emergency Care, Wilderness First Aid Made Easy and First Aid for New Parents. I hold instructor certifications in First Aid, CPR/AED, Wilderness First Aid, Basic Life Support, First Responder, and I am a Level II NFPA 1041 Emergency Medical Services instructor. My life mission is to teach people with no medical background how they can save lives in the first critical minutes of a medical emergency and care for the ill and injured while waiting for EMS to arrive. My books illustrate first aid care and treatment using intuitive “Yes-No” decision diagrams. These books significantly reduce the time first aid students spend taking notes in class and students who use my books report increased retention and achieve higher test scores. My book and teaching method will increase your confidence during the scenario portions of the course and serve as an excellent review tool to help you keep your knowledge refreshed.​ I look forward to working with you in class.
