What's the Difference Between WFA and WFR?

Wilderness First Aid (WFA) and Wilderness First Responder (WFR) are both medical certifications used in remote and austere environments. The key difference lies in the depth of training and the level of responsibility each is designed to support.

​

Wilderness First Aid (WFA)

WFA provides a solid foundation in basic first aid skills tailored to the wilderness setting. It teaches responders how to stabilize and care for a patient until help arrives. WFA is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, backpackers, recreational climbers, or anyone who spends time in remote areas and wants to be prepared for common injuries and illnesses.

​

Wilderness First Responder (WFR)

WFR is a more advanced certification intended for those who may need to manage complex medical situations, provide extended care, and make critical decisions in the backcountry. It’s designed for outdoor professionals, expedition staff, or those that find themselves deep in the backcountry and need to know more advanced medical skills. WFR training emphasizes patient assessment, long-term care, advanced airway and trauma treatment, evacuation planning, and leadership in emergency situations.
