Wilderness First Aid Course

One of the cool things about my job is getting to teach wilderness medicine to lots of different skill levels. Admittedly I have a lot more experience teaching medical students and residents and other healthcare professionals. Sometimes its tricky to flip out of "healthcare" language and teach others in plain english. 

Mike and I had fun teaching a Red Cross Wilderness First Aid course to a group of boy scouts and scout leaders on Jan 11-13.  We taught CPR on Friday night and then a two day WM course out a Daniel Marshall Camp - which is a camp located out on Strom Thurmond lake just west of Augusta. 

I did several lectures and led some hands on scenarios. We covered numerous topics from primary and secondary survey to wound care and splinting.
