About this Event

Our area is filled with opportunities to adventure in nature, and unfortunately this can translate to higher incidences of injuries and illnesses sustained in the wilderness.

Our Wilderness Medicine curriculum is led by Dr. David Brendle, our Assistant Program Director, who has a passion for exploring the outdoors and caring for those who travel alongside him. The Wilderness Medicine curriculum is an opportunity that is open to all- including physicians, residents, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses and students.

Register today and experience expert speakers, hands-on workshops, network with peers, earn CME credits and home-style meals included.

Adventure awaits with local opportunities for hiking, kayaking, rock climbing, biking, and more.
