Our Flagship Program:
Wild Med Wednesday

Wild Med Wednesday is a free global monthly lecture series held on the first Wednesday of every month. The program introduces students and early-career clinicians to the field of wilderness medicine while providing ongoing education for professionals already working in the space.

Lectures feature experts from across the wilderness medicine industry and academic community. Live sessions are free attend and open to the public. Participants can earn Fellow of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine (FAWM) credits, helping them advance their involvement in the field while building meaningful connections with others who share an interest in wilderness and austere medicine.

Wild Med Wednesday serves as an entry point into the wilderness medicine community and a platform where organizations, educators, and professionals can showcase their work and connect with future collaborators.
