Virtual event
Registration deadline
Due to downtime with our registration service, the registration deadline has been extended to Wednesday, September 16.
The Pacific Northwest has no shortage of natural wonders, but sometimes the great outdoors may not be so great. Whether it’s minor injuries like sprains and strains or natural hazards like extreme altitude, heat or cold, being prepared can make a difference. By attending this conference participants will increase their knowledge of key aspects of wilderness medicine, plus be able to advise patients (and friends) heading to the outdoors.
Target audience: All health care providers, including physicians, physician assistants, nurses, and nurse practitioners.
