Do you like hiking, biking, rock climbing, kayaking, skiing, snowboarding, or any other activity involving the outdoors? Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you needed medical assistance and were far away from definitive medical care? Have you ever wanted to be able to provide medical care in a backcountry wilderness setting?
If any of the above applies to you, then you might enjoy the Wilderness Medicine Interest Group. From experienced backcountry explorers to people who've never been hiking, our group is open to anyone who is interested in learning about backcountry medicine. We have something for all experience levels; Noon talks about practicing wilderness medicine as a physician, hands-on training in wilderness medicine, and even a few opportunities to get out in the backcountry and put your wilderness skills to the test. Come check us out!
