We as a community of Wilderness Medical Providers are equipped with very good information on how to deal with out of the hospital medical care. Skills that you have learned in our classes can be useful for you and your community. We always have to honor the Golden Rule of one hour away from definitive care but there are other skills we can use that are not taught in your basic first aid course. Such as infection control, long term wound care, identifying and treating strain, sprains, and broken bones, early identification of medical emergencies, being able to do a solid patient assessment, take and monitor vitals, and documentation are all very valuable skills. So open your WFA books and empower yourself.
