Mazamas — For the Love of Mountains
The MFA Skill Builder is an 8 hour, outdoor experience at either the Mazamas lodge in Government Camp, Oregon or weather dependent alternate location; Portland, Oregon. The MFA skill builder will teach the Wilderness First Aid (WFA) first-aider how to apply first aid skills in the wilderness, perform advanced patient assessment, improvise equipment and cope with wilderness-specific conditions. It will build upon the WFA foundation where you are caring for people who become ill or injured far from definitive medical care while acting as a part of a climbing team in alpine or rock mass casualty incidents. Emphasis is placed on long term patient care management and specific injury evaluation.
