CorpsTHAT is hosting a Wilderness First Aid training taught in American Sign Language by Sam (Marlo) Bragg, our Field and Logistics Director. Marlo is a Deaf instructor for Base Medical and certified as a Wilderness First Responder.

Prepare for the unexpected in the wilderness with this engaging, hands-on introduction to wilderness medicine, taught over three days. If you like to take short trips relatively close to medical resources, work at wilderness camps, enjoy weekend family outdoor activities, or recreate outdoors, this course is for you. This course is great for people of all experience levels, and is best suited for those who recreate outdoors where a medical response team can be expected in a timely manner which is considered less than eight hours. You’ll learn the Patient Assessment System, how to provide effective first aid treatments for illnesses and injuries that can occur in the outdoors, and how to make appropriate evacuation decisions.

Training will be at our office in the Parks and People Foundation campus, instruction will take place both indoors and outdoors, so come prepared for wet, muddy, cold, or hot environments.

This training is intended for members of the Deaf Community, including Deaf, Hard of Hearing, DeafBlind DeafDisabled and hearing individuals who are fluent in ASL. Training will be taught in American Sign Language voice interpreters will not be provided, if you need pro-tactile interpreters or other accommodations, please contact us. 

This course was made possible through a collaboration between Base Medical and CorpsTHAT.
