Blended (ONLINE now + in-person 3-year credit) WILDERNESS FIRST AID

In your own home, at your own leisure: now you can learn a ton in the online portion of Disaster + Travel + Wilderness First Aid!

We have launched "Blended Learning":

Part 1) COURSE TOPICS VIDEOS & SELF-GUIDED PRACTICE portion almost exactly as MEDIC SOLO always presents it. Our instructors just finished recording topic presentations in the latest of disaster and wilderness medical science. Intermixed at several points we guide you to practice various skills.
>>> Bonuses: whiteboards are pre-written-out so time is saved there; ability to pause and rewind, ability to view at your comfortable leisure instead of crammed into two long weekend days.
>>> Testimonials:

• "Fantastic online program."
• "The quality of teaching and the personality of each instructor was ABSOLUTELY STELLAR. There is a lot more to learning than just the textbook curriculum, especially with medical situations."
• "It was much less stressful having the opportunity to be taught on my own schedule rather than having two intensive days."
• Much appreciation for the ability to click "pause" to take notes and write down questions (which MEDIC will answer), and ability to rewind and replay demonstrations, explanations, etc. -- can't do that in a live class.

Part 2) A 3-year credit to attend any in-person open-enrollment MEDIC SOLO dtWFA course, to solidify your skills and graduate with WFA certification. Schedule is at www.solowfa.com

MORE INFO and REGISTRATION / TO GET STARTED: https://www.solowfa.com/register-SOL...aid-course.htm

Fee: Our usual in-person course is $220, which is $55 per person less than what another national school charges for their shorter less-in-depth course. You get a 3-year credit for our usual rate, plus the online learn-now bonus for FREE.

Now is a time when your dtWFA skills may be needed most.

• Hospital beds are filling up and we need to reduce their demand. If with dtWFA skills you treat someone and they no longer need to go to the hospital, fantastic and so helpful in many ways.
• People are encouraged to get outdoors for fresh air and natural exercise (step 6 feet away from others), boosting immune system strength. Our government is supporting this by waiving entrance fees to the National Parks that are open. Some parks are seeing their highest-ever mid-week daytime visits. More people are outdoor adventuring and most don't have the skills you signed up to learn, and may be in need especially as more first-timers go explore the outdoors.
• Hopefully the following will never happen: fewer EMTs staffing ambulances and thus a call to 911 for medical assistance is less responsive, or outbreaks occur within hospitals and those entire facilities end up being quarantined and unavailable ... leaving it up to dtWFA-trained folks to provide care.

Thank you for all that you do to strengthen our communities, making disaster and wilderness areas safer for all.
