The Wilderness First Responder (WFR) was created to provide outdoor leaders, search and rescue team members, and individuals working or recreating in remote wilderness settings the knowledge and skills necessary to deal with medical emergencies in the field. The 5-Day WFR format adheres to the same standards as the Wilderness Medical Associates (WMA) 8-Day WFR format and is the first aid course required for most outdoor professionals working in remote areas. Topics covered throughout the duration of the course include patient assessment, environmental and back-country medicine, musculoskeletal problems, wound management, wound cleaning, splinting, bandaging, spine injury assessment, dislocation reduction, CPR and anaphylaxis.
