First aid in the wild
Wilderness First Aid classes (EVS 301 and 302) teach students first aid skills critical for those working more than an hour from emergency care. Students learn via scenario-based methods that simulate real-life injuries and illnesses. Successful completion of these courses provides certification from the National Association of Search and Rescue, as well as certification in Basic Life Support CPR from the American Heart Association. University Communications photographer Douglas Levere documented the final practical at Don Miller Park in North Tonawanda. Instructor Russ Crispell and volunteers Stephen Hagenbuch and Mark Sorel provide this training each semester.
