Remote First Aid (RFA)

Red Cross Remote First Aid is practical, hands-on training designed for casual campers or day hikers. Gain the confidence you need to make informed decisions in emergencies when rescue is hours away!

Don’t expect rigid protocols. At Coast Wilderness Medical, we focus on giving you skills that you can rely on. You can expect immersive training, simple but effective techniques, and the confidence to manage emergencies wherever they occur, with whatever you have at hand.

Further Studies: Once you receive your RFA, you qualify for a 20 hour upgrade to Wilderness First Aid. WFA includes more advanced techniques, as well as leadership and group management components that are suitable for people who take on leadership roles in the backcountry.
