Many outdoor educators are lay medical providers who get their wilderness medicine certification, but have no real-world experience. You wouldn’t hire a climbing guide without any climbing experience, or a raft guide who has never been down a rapid, but we routinely hire folks into roles where they need their WFR, but have no real medical experience. In this workshop, we’ll discuss ways to enhance your staff’s wilderness medicine training and help create a culture of learning. We’ll talk about what you can do as an employer to ensure your staff are ready to act in emergencies big and small.
