There are many areas in Canada where 911 is not an available option in response to a medical or traumatic emergency. Weather, remoteness and limited equipment can potentially delay access to EMS. This places considerable responsibility on the actions and decision making of you as a rescuer or first responder. The need for knowledge and skills beyond the scope of ‘standard’ first aid is distinct.
CWMT offers modular courses that develop competencies in the recognition and management of medical or traumatic events in a wilderness environment.
