Denna NOLS Wilderness Medicine första-hjälpen utbildning fokuserar på frilufts-relaterade skador och sjukdomar. Kursen ingår i Klarälvens fjälledarlinje och flertalet av deltagarna går på denna utbildning. Eventuellt finns ett fåtal platser öppna för allmänheten. Vi täcker Fjälledarnormes rekommendationer för sjukvård.

Kanske måste du hjälpa en orienterare som har en kraftig allergisk reaktion eller ta hand om en paddlare vars axel har hoppat ur led. Vårt mål är att göra våra sjukvårdsscenarier så realistiska som möjligt.
