This 6-credit intensive Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course focuses on health, medicine and the environment in the Himalayas of North India. WFR is the standard training in the US for guides, international leaders, and backcountry travelers.  The course assumes that access to advanced medical care is hours to days away from the point of injury or illness, and as a result the responder must focus on patient assessment, long-term, and improvised patient care. The WFR course will emphasize care in remote, international settings and will augment didactic and scenario learning with clinical rotations at Landour Community Hospital (LCH) and its surrounding communities, where students will shadow LCH and Aerie staff as they care for patients.
