SUMMARY:Wilderness First Aid Course - MWA & MRWTA
DESCRIPTION:This two-day course immerses participants in basic wilderness medicine procedures\, preparing individuals to take immediate action when an outdoor activity doesn’t go as planned and 911 responders are hours away. Time is split between interactive classroom sessions and hands-on field scenarios to prepare participants and help them quickly develop basic backcountry medical care skills. The course focus is on patient assessment\, stabilization and emergency treatment of issues such as hypothermia and snakebites\, as well as understanding when and how to attempt evacuation. This course includes additional focus for paddlesports\, including wound cleaning and closure\, as well as the reduction of simple shoulder dislocations. Participants will emerge capable of calmly responding to a wide variety of emergency situations. \nAll mandatory program supplies and a course field guide are provided by Ozark Safety and Rescue Educators (OSRE) as part of the program cost. \nSuccessful completion of the entire program will result in a three-year nationally recognized Wilderness First Aid Certification through Sierra Rescue International. \n\nWe will start promptly at 7:30 am and will be finishing by 5:00 pm both days. Please arrive a few minutes early to complete the waivers and paperwork.  Note\, a CPR course is offered Monday\, 4/17/23 (the day prior\, same location\, separate price). \n\nPlease be sure to dress in clothing that can get very dirty/stained as we will be outdoors repeatedly\, and it will likely be muddy and wet! We do use stage makeup\, which does not always wash out of clothing well. Basically\, prepare to be messy! We will be going outside regardless of weather conditions for practice\, so be sure to be prepared! We strongly suggest bringing a folding camp chair (we have found that some folks prefer them\, and we may do some classroom sessions outside if it is not raining).  We encourage you to bring an old tee shirt or two to cut up as part of our impromptu supplies practice.\n\nLocation Information: National Great Rivers Museum\, 2 Lock And Dam Way\, East Alton\, IL 62024.\n\nWe strongly suggest bringing a sack lunch\, as we will only have 45 minutes total for lunch.
