CRK is Seeking a Medical Advisor

Being allowed to follow these protocols may allow us to save a life or prevent infection or more serious injury when we encounter a medical issue when working in a wilderness context.

• Maintain a record of the medical certifications of each of the CRK guides.

• Maintain a record of the medical certifications of each of the CRK guides.

• Review each of the six wilderness medicine field protocols and have the authority to authorize all CRK guides who are certified as a Wilderness First Responder or Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician to carry out those protocols when appropriate. The physician may choose not to authorize any of these protocols or any particular aspect of one of these protocols.

• If the physician authorizes use of the anaphylaxis and severe asthma protocols, the physician supplies CRK with epinephrine for each of the WFR or WEMT certified guides and authorizes them to use it when appropriate. CRK reimburses the physician for any expenses.

• CRK guides are responsible for documenting each time they provide first aid while on duty and sending a report the consulting physician, who reviews the report.

• Review the list of first aid supplies carried by CRK guides and make recommendations to amend the supplies.
