Trauma & Wilderness First Aid
Learn how to provide emergency medical care to patients in remote locations where there are limited resources, and communication and transportation challenges. The workshop will provide participants with the barehanded principles behind patient assessment and treatment in areas with little to no access to medical care.
Training will be provided from the perspective of both western wilderness medicine and Chinese medicine. Topics covered will include trauma treatments, first aid, managing environmental challenges, and hygiene tools. Teaching scenarios will include injuries, factures, bites, hypothermia, heat illness, wound management, cardiac emergencies, and several other remote-care scenarios.
