Wilderness First Aid Class - Jan 29/30

MtnResq30 · Post by **MtnResq30** » Nov 30 2010 8:08 am

HAZ,

Central Arizona Mountain Rescue Association will be conducting a 2-day Wilderness First Aid Certification course on January 29 & 30 (Saturday / Sunday), 2011.

This two day/16 hour course provides classroom and hands-on instruction on how to prevent and respond to medical situations while in the backcountry.

If you venture into the backcountry you are the first responder and your response to a medical situation can truly make the difference between life and death.

Class size is limited to provide a beneficial student/instructor ratio.

To register for the class contact:

This is right next to my house practically so we may have to put together a HAZ gathering of some sort. As we get closer to the event, I could put something together including a little hike up at Lookout....

There are still seats left in our January 29,30 Wilderness First Aid class. I want to make sure that HIKEAZ members have the first shot at these seats so if you haven't yet registered, here is the registration link:

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?c ... SKNDECGN9J.

After you complete your registration, I will send you a confirmation letter with additional class information.

Please do not share this link outside of the HIKEAZ FORUM so we can prioritize the seats for HIKEAZ members. If you have any trouble with the link or if you do not receive your confirmation letter directly from me within 24 hours of your registration, please do not hesitate to call my mobile, 623-692-1908, or send me an email at wildernessmedicine@cox.net.

Be safe!

If (when) the class fills up or we're unable to make those January dates, will there be another class scheduled in the near future?

For those who are wondering if there will be more wilderness First Aid (WFA) courses if they are unable to make the January class, yes. We (CAMRA) plan to conduct 6 WFA courses in November at the North Mountain Visitor Center.
