Wilderness Medicine Rotation Resource

[Docuronium]

Is there a resource somewhere listing 4th year wilderness rotations that are available? I'm planning my 4th year out, and trying to find which programs have wilderness months has been frustrating and surprising (a Massachusetts program having a Rocky Mountain wilderness course for example)


Thanks!

Thanks for the link, but I was hoping there was a thread or a resource somewhere that listed all the electives available. I suppose maybe this might become my own mission.

Have you tried VSAS? If not, here is the address: https://www.aamc.org/students/medstudents/vsas/

It has a searchable database for different electives.

This is a relatively comprehensive list from the Wilderness Medical Society:

Hope this helps!
