Wilderness and Emergency Medicine Program, University of Colorado

The Section of Wilderness and Environmental Medicine is a university-based enterprise to promote research, best practice, education, and outreach to promote health and wellness in extreme or austere environments. Our work includes attention to the greater policy issues of environmental change in health, and we are committed toward advancing the conversation based upon the best scientific evidence to improve discourse and understanding. Our constituents are the community and students of the health sciences in all levels, including seasoned medical practitioners seeking to augment their skill sets. We have robust collaborations with different organizations in order to bring forth diversity of experiences and perspectives in our mission to advance the field of wilderness and environmental medicine. Our goal is to have the most comprehensive program of its kind in the world, setting the standard of excellence in scholarship in our field.

We offer wilderness and emergency medicine courses in exciting destinations for pre-medical and pre-health students, current medical and nursing students and outdoor enthusiasts. We also offer CME courses for physicians, ANPs, PAs and other health professionals.  We also have a new series of courses dedicated to global health!
