Class Overview:
This wilderness first aid class is a 2-day introduction to wilderness medicine. It is a combination of didactic lectures, hands-on practice, and scenarios. Be prepared to cover a lot of ground and learn a ton.

Location:
GSDSW Program Center
9700 Girl Scout Way
El Paso, TX

Times:
Class will start promptly at 8 AM on both Saturday and Sunday. We will finish WFA by 5 PM each day. There will be additional time for those taking CPR/AED.

Clothing:
For those able, you will be bending, getting on the ground, lifting or being lifted, etc. so wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Please, no open-toed shoes. Please wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty and possibly stained with moulage. We will be outside some so please bring outer clothing appropriate for the weather.

What to bring:
Please bring a pen or pencil and a notebook, if note taking is desired. Also please bring lunch and any drinks or snacks you’d like to have.

Prerequisite:
CPR/AED is a prerequisite for this class. If you are already CPR/AED certified, please email or bring a copy of your unexpired certification. If you are taking CPR/AED as part of this class, there will be online coursework to do ahead, with a skills check-off during class. The link to your online coursework will come via email after payment is received.

Certification:
At the end of the class, there is a multiple-choice test. If you participate fully and pay attention during class you should have no trouble earning the minimum 80% to pass. Those completing all requirements will earn an Emergency Care and Safety Institute Wilderness First Aid certificate, valid for 2 years. Those completing CPR/AED will receive a 2-year certificate for that also.
