Wilderness First Aid is a two-day training designed for hikers, backpackers, volunteers, outdoor educators, and anyone who spends time recreating in the backcountry. The course covers patient assessment, injury and illness management, and decision-making when professional medical care may be hours away.

The Tahoe Rim Trail Association regularly partners with NOLS Wilderness Medicine, a nationally recognized leader in wilderness medical education, to bring backcountry skills training to the Tahoe region.

Due to the hands-on nature of the training, course capacity is limited, and early registration is encouraged.
