Mountaineering Oriented First Aid Course, 2009 |
|
Revised January 15, 2009
Course code: 17322
Class size minimum: 50
Class size maximum: 100
Non-members allowed enrollment: Yes
Member cost: $65.00
Non-member cost: $65.00
Please Note The Major Change To Prerequisites.
MOFA is an adjunct to, and
required for graduation from, The Everett Mountaineers Basic and
Intermediate
Climbing, Alpine Scrambling, and Backcountry Ski courses. We cover
injuries common to mountaineering activities, and first aid in
wilderness situations. This 25-hour course is based on the American
Red Cross (ARC)
"When Help Is Delayed" Course but goes beyond the Red Cross
Course by adding "extended care" to situations where help is hours,
or even days, away. Our Branch course fulfills any Branch's class
requirement
for MOFA. MOFA is offered in conjunction with the American Red
Cross and Snohomish County Volunteer Search and Rescue (SCVSR).
Eligibility Requirements: MOFA is open to both Mountaineer members
and non-members. MOFA cards expire three years from date of issue.
Health professionals and others with extensive first aid backgrounds
may apply to take MOFA Refresher (a 12.5-hour course sometimes offered
in the fall) in lieu of the basic MOFA course or you may apply
for equivalency. Placement in MOFA Refresher is decided on a case
by case basis. Some Mountaineer activities may allow you to apply
for equivalency. Check with your respective course coordinator.
Preparation: You must purchase or borrow the latest edition
of Mountaineering
First Aid and
read it prior to the weekend field trip.
It's
available through area book
and outdoor stores, as well as through the Mountaineers
Bookstore.
Course Fee: Costs are the same for both Mountaineers
members and the general public. The cost does not include Mountaineering
First Aid, 5th edition, and the book will not be for
sale at class.
Refunds: Only before the first class session. No refunds
given if only the minimum signed up. The clubhouse charges a $10 cancellation fee.
Prerequisite: An adult CPR
card less than one year old and a first aid card less than
three years old at the time of the MOFA course. This
is a significant change from previous years. Both can be from any
source, but we encourage the use of either the American
Red Cross
or the American Heart Association. By requiring students to have
completed a first aid course, we can concentrate on the additional
skills
and knowledge required in a mountaineering setting. See the CPR
and First Aid course sections for details.
Here are examples of some groups offering First Aid/CPR:
Snohomish County Red Cross King County Red Cross
Everett YMCA
Snohomish
County Fire District 1
Course Structure/Graduation Requirements: MOFA consists
of one, four-hour lecture and skills practice on
a weekday evening and one weekend of lectures alternating with
first aid skills practice and field scenarios (twelve hours Saturday,
nine hours Sunday).
Students must attend all 25 hours of class and complete all required
skills to graduate. The pretest handed out the first night of class is on material from Mountaineering
First Aid. All participants must pass the “When Help
is Delayed” written exam at the end of the course as well as correctly demonstrate
required first aid skills in order to complete this course.
Other requirements: Mountaineering
First Aid text (5th Edition).
Frequency: MOFA is usually offered
in March or April.
Registration: See course schedule for registration period.
To register, contact the Mountaineer clubhouse by phone at (206) 521-6001 or (800) 573-8484
between 8:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday or by mail

Location: Taylor's Landing (Snohomish County Volunteer
