The Wilderness Medicine Club (WMC) seeks to combine a love for outdoor adventure with the need for medical skills required in emergent medical situations arising in the wild.  Surprising to some, the greater New York area gives opportunities for a wide variety of activities at many levels; from hiking to climbing, canoe tripping to snow-shoeing, there is outdoor fun to be had and techniques to be learned.  Through a series of day to overnight trips and both in-class lectures by wilderness medicine physicians combined with actual field skills development, the WMC intends to provide interested students with the opportunity for medical and adventure education.  Whether for your medical career, your enjoyment, your wilderness knowledge, or your sanity, check out the WMC, and get outside!
