ABOUT WILDERNESS & TRAVEL MEDICINE

Wilderness and Travel Medicine specializes in the highest quality expedition, travel, and wilderness medicine CME conferences for medical professionals. Our courses prepare participants to become more adept at rendering emergency medical care in wilderness environments, which can be remote and austere. These courses are also excellent preparation for medical problems associated with foreign travel, medical missions, and disasters.

Our Wilderness conferences have earned a reputation of excellence for over 25 years largely on the strength of our world-class faculty. (make link to faculty page) Another unique strength is the emphasis on more practical topics and workshops. We are also the largest provider of CME conferences in adventure travel locations worldwide.

We are gratified that many of our participants rate our CME courses as "the best" and return year after year! (see our testimonials). We hope you can join us!


Wilderness Medicine is proud
to support many local and national organizations focusing on wilderness and environmental protection and stewardship.
