Wilderness First-Aid

AAM-b-JDemontignyYamnuska Mountain Adventures offers expert wilderness first aid courses and certification out of our classrooms in Canmore, Alberta. Immediately behind our office is the perfect wilderness scenario setting so we never have to drive to complete the outdoor training.

In the field or classroom, we maximize your instruction time.  Our 80 Hour Advanced Adventure Medic Program is one of only two 80 hour Wilderness First Aid Courses that is recognized by Alberta Workplace Health and Safety as an Advanced First Aid Certificate.  This is a testament to our instructors, curriculum, and dedication to high standard instruction.

Advanced Adventure Medic 80 hour course

This 10-day (80-hour) wilderness first aid course is the industry standard for outdoor professionals. Many organizations require it as part of their job qualifications.

Topics include patient assessment system, body systems, environmental injuries/conditions, anaphylaxis, lifting/moving/extrication, patient carries, backcountry medicine, and CPR.

Topics are covered in-depth and include simulations.  The wilderness first aid course is recommended for outdoor professionals as well as outdoor recreationalists who lead adventure trips or those who are in the backcountry for days or weeks at a time and may have to care for a patient over an extended period.

This course is hosted by Yamnuska Mountain Adventures and taught by Rocky Mountain Adventure Medicine. This program is recognized by Alberta Occupational Health & Safety as an Advanced First Aid certificate.

Advanced Adventure Medic Recertification

Recertify your 80-hour Advanced Adventure Medic or Wilderness First Responder Certification in our 5-day course. We run recertification courses on several dates in the shoulder seasons.

Adventure Medic 40-hour course

This 40-hour course is designed for those who take on a leadership role in the outdoors.  This is the industry standard for those who lead custodial groups in the backcountry, teachers, raft guides and trip leaders.  This certification is required by many companies, school boards, camps and youth organizations.

Adventure Medic Recertification

Recertify your 40-hour Adventure Medic or 40-hour Wilderness First Aid Certification. We run recertification courses on several dates in the shoulder seasons.

Wilderness Remote Responder

Described as the ultimate ‘Weekend Warrior’ first aid course, we have compressed an important wilderness first aid curriculum into a 20-hour standard first aid program. We recognize the 80-hour course is a significant time investment and not everyone can dedicate that much time to wilderness first aid. However, if you spend time in the backcountry, there is a significant difference between urban and wilderness first aid so we recommend some level of wilderness first aid training.  This course will give you a great introduction to wilderness first aid. In addition to being invaluable wilderness first aid training, the course is also recognized by Alberta Occupational Health and Safety as a Standard First Aid Certificate.

 

If our scheduled course dates do not work for you, we can offer private courses for groups or teams. Please contact our office for more information.
