Hybrid Wilderness First Responder - Flagstaff Field Institute

If you work or recreate in the outdoors or in other austere environments where access to medical care is delayed or communication is unreliable, our Hybrid Wilderness First Responder (HWFR) course is for you. The Hybrid WFR combines 3 modules of online learning with 5 days of in-person training.  The online learning is self-paced over 3 weeks and includes readings, videos and quizzes. The 5-day in-person course will focus on skills and scenarios.
