WORKSHOP – International/Wilderness First Responder – Erika & Dillon
October 5, 2019 @ 8:30 am - October 14, 2019 @ 5:30 pm
The International/Wilderness First Responder Course is the gold standard in first aid training for people who might find themselves up to 72 hours away from comprehensive medical care. The medical content of our IFR is reciprocal with the Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification required for teachers and licensed wilderness guides worldwide. However, we frame this material as it applies to life in Indonesia, which creates an invaluable and enjoyable learning experience for our Bali-based students.
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
IN THIS COURSE YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO…
- Identify and accommodate some of the unique challenges facing individuals and communities with limited access to advanced medical care.
- Conduct a complete medical examination of a patient including taking a patient history, gathering vital signs and doing a head-to-toe physical exam.
- Use a patient assessment system to evaluate the initial state of a patient, monitor a patient’s progress and plan ongoing care for 72 hours or more.
- Identify and manage a large range of common illnesses, injuries and environmental medical problems.
- Use local resources and medical professionals, online research and course materials to support good decision making in the field.
- Plan for patient transfer to a qualified medical facility and facilitate medical evacuations.
