About This Event

The Wine Hiking Society has partnered with Wilderness Medicine of Utah (WMU) to offer our members a Women’s Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course at a special discounted rate!

The Women’s Wilderness First Aid and CPR course is taught by women for women. Learn about wilderness first aid alongside other women in a safe, non-judgmental environment.

The course is designed to help women become familiar with some of the most common backcountry problems. Through this course, women will receive some practice in evaluating, treating, and evacuating injured people in wilderness settings.

WMU’s wilderness first aid course was developed by a former Army doctor / director of wilderness medicine at Yale School of Medicine. Most of the practice scenarios are based on real-life incidents that our instructors have managed as professional rescuers or have encountered in their own backcountry adventures.

THIS COURSE INCLUDES

• 2 full days of hands-on instruction (Saturday and Sunday)
• Bagels with cream cheese and coffee both mornings
• Female instructors, creating a safe, non-intimidating space
• Practical workshops conducted in the classroom and on the trail
• CPR Certification (BONUS!)

Upon taking this course, women will gain confidence on the trail to handle most medical emergencies. Women will also gain confidence in knowing when to seek professional assistance and what to do in the meantime.
