FWIW —I recommend the National Outdoor Leadership School’s NOLS Wilderness Medicine curriculum with courses for certification in Wilderness First Aid (WFA), Wilderness First Responder (WFR) and Wilderness EMT (WEMT) — not short, not cheap, but very comprehensive. (There is another course for Wilderness Advanced First Aid (WAFA) which has two dates, both in Patagonia, Chile, and one in Texas.).

For most of us, the WFA cert is all that’s required, and that course is 2 full days - Saturday & Sunday. WFR is 9-10 days, Saturday through the following Sunday. WEMT is 4 weeks.

Select a curriculum and use the filters to find a course that works for you.
