Our Wilderness Herbal First Responder is a certification demonstrating 100 hours of Wilderness First Responder (80 hours on-campus and 20 hours online) combined with remote and post-disaster herbalism. The WHFR also includes a 40-hour Advanced Wilderness First Aid (WFA) certification card through the Emergency Care and Safety Institute (ECSI), CPR certification, and an 80-hour Wilderness First Responder certification card through The Human Path.

This is the merging of the worlds of remote or post-disaster medicine (“ditch medicine”) with the world of herbalism and includes a practical foundation in the use of herbal medicine for acute and critical care situations in the field. PLUS, this course includes a full Wilderness First Responder curriculum that allows the student to be a competent first aid provider in the field, right from the get-go in the case of illness, injury or even chronic health issue.

FULL COURSE DESCRIPTION IS BELOW.

This course is geared toward a number of different types of students:
• The outdoor enthusiast, camp counselor, outdoor recreational employee who wants in-depth training on injury and illness management in the field.

• The camper, hiker or rock-climber who wants more much more intensive learning, geared toward outdoor environments, than a standard first aid course.

• The prepper (disaster preparedness) who wants to be self-sufficient medically and not even necessarily reliant on orthodox pharmaceuticals.

• The herbalist who wants higher intensity training across the board from wilderness first aid to herbal medicine in a remote environment.

• The emergency medicine professional who wants to expand his/her horizons into indefinite medical care that includes botanical medicines (field herbalism).
