First Aid Training

By Holly Coughlin, GBG Chair, Outings Leader, and HSI First Aid Trainer

Two times each year, the Great Basin Group offers practical First Aid training with the focus on what might be needed on outdoor trips. These trainings are offered at no cost to Outings Leaders and is supported through the $1 donation program. The majority of the first aid training is learned through practicing a variety of scenarios including learning how to diagnose and treat minor to major incidences that could happen in the backcountry.
