This course may be used to re-certify current Wilderness First Responder and Wilderness EMT (wilderness portion only) certifications. This hybrid format re-certification is taught by NOLS Wilderness Medicine, and includes roughly 10 hours of online coursework to be completed prior to the 2 days of in-person course sessions. This course includes review and practice of evacuation and decision making guidelines. It also provides wilderness medicine practitioners with current updates in the wilderness medicine field.

WFR re-certification is offered at L&C in November and May annually.
