Wilderness First Responder
About the Training
This Wilderness First Responder course is designed for outdoor professionals, those
taking multi-day or extended trips and people involved with high-risk activities (rock
climbing, gravel cycling, mountaineering, etc.). WFR courses provide the ideal training
for people who travel in remote locations, in challenging weather, with limited equipment,
unreliable communication and little or no access to outside assistance.
Benefits of WFR
The WFR certification is the industry standard for outdoor guides and instructors.
Graduates are trained to care for patients for extended periods and make independent
decisions about evacuation and resources. WMTC WFR courses exceed the certification
standards set forth by the WMEC. Each student receives a copy of the Wilderness Medicine Handbook, our pocket-sized, waterproof, tear-resistant field guide, and patient notes. WMTC
WFR graduates who receive certification as an EMT within one year of their WFR course
may upgrade to a WEMT after passing our online WEMT exams.
