About the WFR Recert

The 24-hour Wilderness First Responder Recertification course is designed to give participants the ability to refresh skills and learn the most up-to-date, evidence based information in the field of wilderness medicine.

What topics are covered?

Topics include a review of LWM's patient assessment system, how to provide long-term care with limited resources, the decision of when to call for more help, and treatments such as splinting, wound care and management of spine injuries. The class does include a CPR/AED for Adults and Children certification. 

The course schedule includes pre-course online study, classroom time, as well as extensive hands-on skills practice through medical scenarios and labs. There will be a written test for both CPR and WFR materials.

Pre-Requisites and Certification Information

  • A current Wilderness First Responder certificate or one that is within the previous certifying organization's grace period.
  • Individuals seeking re-certification for their WFR must present proof of current certification or a certification within the previous provider's grace period no later than the first day of the course.  A WFR certificate will not be issued to individuals without proof of current certification or who have a certification which has expired.
