Hello! I'm new to the east coast, and looking to take a Wilderness First Responder course sometime in the next couple months. Any recommendations for courses or organisations that I can access from New York City?

Chris,

There's a WFR course coming up at the end of January in Long Island City.

SOLO, the wilderness med school in New Hampshire offers WFA courses all over the place all the time. Here's the link to their course schedule: soloschools.com/schedule/

Look into WMAI (Wilderness Medical Associates International). I recently took a course through them in Montreal and it was great. They offered one in Lake Placid, but I missed the cut off. They've usually got a decent amount of courses running. They seem to offer more in the spring/summer than in the winter.

Good luck
