Anaphylaxis in the Backcountry - Online Classroom

6:30-8pm via Zoom Meeting
Meeting link will be sent to registered attendees on the day of the session.

Seminar Description

As an EMT, Chris has always had an interest in Anaphylaxis and what can be done to bridge medical care from the point of the incident until the patient reaches the hospital.  In recent years, Chris, while not having the extreme of Anaphylaxis reaction, has been diagnosed with many different forms of allergies and he will discuss his path to being diagnosed.

Anaphylaxis is a true medical emergency that will need immediate medical intervention.  We will discuss what an allergic reaction is, how it occurs, and steps to take once an allergic reaction (or anaphylaxis) has been identified or is occurring. Please note that this seminar does provide credit towards a WFA, MOFA, or WFR recertification.
