The College of Idaho Outdoor Program

We're hosting a Hybrid Wilderness First Responder course starting in January with the in-person session on March 20th-24th.

In partnership with WMTC (Wilderness Medicine Training Center) you can become certified as a Wilderness First Responder. Our Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course is designed for outdoor professionals, those taking multi-day or extended trips, and people involved with high-risk activities (rock climbing, whitewater paddling, mountaineering, etc.). WFR courses provide ideal training for people who travel in remote locations, in challenging weather, with limited equipment, unreliable communication, and little or no access to outside assistance.
WFR certification is the industry standard for outdoor guides and instructors, and graduates are trained to care for patients for extended periods and to make independent decisions about evacuation and resources.

​WMTC WFR graduates who receive certification as an EMR or EMT within one year of their WFR course may upgrade to a WEMR or WEMT after passing our online exams.

Certifications Included in WFR Courses
- Wilderness First Responder
- Adult and Child Wilderness CPR & AED
- Injectable Epinephrine
