Wilderness First Responder

$800- UNL Students/Members

$915- General Public

This Wilderness First Responder (WFR) / WEMT course is designed for outdoor professionals, those taking multi-day or extended trips, and people involved with high-risk activities (rock climbing, whitewater paddling, mountaineering, etc.). WFR courses provide the ideal training for people who travel in remote locations, in challenging weather, with limited equipment, unreliable communication, and little or no access to outside assistance. WFR certification is the industry standard for outdoor guides and instructors, and graduates are trained to care for patients for extended periods and to make independent decisions about evacuation and resources.

This course is being taught through the Wilderness Medicine Training Center (WMTC). Contact Jordan Messerer, jordan.messerer@unl.edu, with questions.
