Materials from the Extremities Splinting Lab will also be used here. This lab shows students how to improvise and package different litters, to improvise hypothermia packaging, to create alternate methods for evacuating non-spine injured patients, and to improvise traction splints. WAFA requires the same materials but does NOT teach improvised litters or traction splints. Often a local butcher can save these parts for your course. In addition please provide a long sharp kitchen knife.
All courses have simulations to help students practice in a realistic situation.
Fake wounds, blood, etc. are used to increase reality. Clothing may be obtained from Goodwill, Salvation Army, Thrift Shops, etc. WMTC can provide manikins for a minimal fee plus shipping. Contact the office for details. Course Costs Courses are priced on a per student basis with a 14 student per course minimum.
