Wilderness Survival Medicine (CPR & First Aid Certification)

Wilderness Survival Medicine is a hands-on, field-based training course that prepares participants to respond to medical emergencies when professional help is far away. This immersive program combines standard CPR and First Aid certification with wilderness medicine skills used by outdoor professionals, trail crews, expedition leaders, and backcountry guides.

Students learn how to assess injuries, control bleeding, manage fractures, treat hypothermia and heat illness, respond to allergic reactions, and perform life-saving CPR — all while working in real outdoor environments. Instead of a classroom, training takes place on trails, in wooded terrain, and at simulated backcountry accident scenes.

Participants practice patient assessment, evacuation decision-making, splinting, and improvised medical care using minimal equipment, just as they would in real-world wilderness emergencies.

Upon successful completion, students earn a nationally recognized CPR and First Aid certification, along with a Wilderness Survival Medicine certificate documenting their field-based emergency care training.

This course is ideal for:

  • Outdoor educators and camp staff

  • Hikers, hunters, and backpackers

  • Search & rescue volunteers

  • Youth leaders and trip leaders

  • Anyone who spends time far from emergency services

Learn to stay calm, think clearly, and save lives—where it matters most: in the field. 🌲🩺
