In
recent years the American Red
Cross has expanded its focus to
include the wilderness medicine
field. The Transylvania County
Chapter of North Carolina developed
an introductory course entitled,
"When Help is Delayed"
which was expanded to become "Wilderness
First Aid Basics". We are
proud to have taken this curriculum
and expanded on it again, basing
our own wilderness first aid curriculum
on the National
Practice Guidelines for Wilderness
Emergency Care, published
by the National Wilderness Medical
Society.
We
are certified to teach American
Red Cross first aid and CPR courses
and are authorized by both the National
Chapter and the Centre County, PA
chapters of the Red Cross. We offer
community, workplace, and professional
rescuer training and certification
programs to the public. We are proud
to be an Authorized Provider the
American Red Cross.
The
Center for Wilderness Safety also
offers a full range of wilderness
medicine certifications. Course
topics include emergency management,
basic human anatomy, treatment
of common injuries, illnesses
and more. |
