The Outdoor Recreation Center in conjunction with the National Ski Patrol is offering a 12 week course in Outdoor Emergency Care. Successful completion of the course will result in Outdoor Emergency Care Technician certification; equivalent to EMT-B level of training.
This course is not only for anyone who might be interested in becoming a ski/snowboard patroller, but is for anyone who desires to have advanced first aid training for the outdoor environment (e.g. outdoor guides/leaders, recreational backcountry participants; mountain bikers, backcountry skiers/boarders, kayakers, rafters, backpackers, etc.)
The first class starts this evening at 7 p.m. at the SRC Backyard Building. For more information and to register for the course please go to https://urec.wsu.edu/register/ItemDetails.aspx?id=9613 or contact Steve Martinez at 335-3200, martinez@vetmed.wsu.edu.
