WHAT IS WILDERNESS MEDICINE

Green Tree Snake

Wilderness medicine, including the application of first-aid, includes any context that involves patient care in extreme environments, when resources may be limited or non-existent, and evacuation to greater medical care may be hours, days or longer.

Applications of wilderness medicine may be in a remote corner of the planet, but also include environments such as urban disasters, severe weather conditions, multiple patients, police and military interventions or any situation that creates a context with minimal resources or extended scene patient management.


NORTHERN ONTARIO SCHOOL OF MEDICINE (NOSM)

WMA Canada is proud to partner with Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM) to host another Wilderness Advanced Life Support course June 13 to 16th in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
