What your colleagues have said about
Wilderness Medical Society meetings

have said it better!
"Anybody who treats life as a participatory
sport and who has patients who believe
that philosophy also, will have his [or
her] knowledge expanded greatly I will
return again."
- Rheumatologist, MD
"WMS is great! It's a group bound
together by a common love of wild places
and the bond of medicine. The best parts
of the conferences are the exciting people
in attendance and the practical hands-
on workshops."

leaders of their respective fields. Good
