[philmont] Wilderness First Aid

Jim,

Are you saying that the new Philmont required first aid training is related to Good Samaritan laws?

Also, would this course qualify?:

Wilderness First Aid Basics
Wilderness First Aid: Basic Level
The Emergency Care and Safety Institute
 Sponsored by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons And the Wilderness Medical Society

  16 hour course taught by an MD who is a Wilderness First Responder and member of the Wilderness Medical Society

Thanks,
Rob Lemley

This is a conundrum for me. I’ve researching Good
Samaritan laws. Several of the state laws say the first aid to be protected by
the Good Sam act requires training by a national organization (the Am Red
Cross, BSA or National Ski Patrol.)
   
 Most wilderness first aid courses are not taught by these organizations.

 Don't forget that there is a new requirement this year forWilderness First Aid. At least one (if not more) crew members needs to take thecourse and be wilderness first aid certified. This is a 16 hour course that youcan usually get through your local American Red Cross Chapter. As far asI know only Physicians are exempt. Nurses, EMTs, Paramedics and Fireman arestill on the hook despite their experience.
