Wilderness First Aid, Level 2

Wilderness First Aid, Level 2

WFA Level 2 is a 3-day, 24-hour course that expands your wilderness medicine toolkit. You'll cover everything in Level 1 and go deeper into multi-system trauma, pharmacology basics, and complex patient management over extended timeframes. Scenarios get harder and longer — you'll be expected to manage patients from initial assessment through packaging and evacuation decision.

What You'll Learn

• All WFA Level 1 content, reviewed and reinforced
• Advanced patient assessment and documentation
• Multi-system trauma: thoracic injuries, abdominal emergencies
• Pharmacology basics: indications, contraindications, and administration
• Fluid and shock management in austere environments
• Extended patient care: monitoring, reassessment, and documentation over hours
• Complex evacuation planning and improvised carries

Course Format

Three days, 24 hours total. Progressive scenario complexity — by day three you are managing multi-patient incidents with limited resources. Certification is Waypoint Training WFA Level 2.
