OUR MISSION:

As a group we aim to help medical

students discover the importance of

clinical reasoning and creating diagnostic

schema through collective collaboration.

We hope to establish an environment in

which having a knowledge gap is an

opportunity for learning, and not a point

of weakness. We hope to help everyone

here at the COM develop their clinical

problem-solving abilities and learn from

practicing physicians how to go about

solving cases.

Feel free to reach

out to our email for

more information.

We look forward to

seeing you all in the

upcoming year!

WILDERNESSMEDICALSOCIETY

W M S

To advance healthcare, research andeducation related to wilderness medicine.

Wilderness Medicine is the study of acutecare in austere and remote environments,often with limited access to medicalresources, which forces one to think outsidethe luxurious box of the modern hospital.Members of the Wilderness Medical Societyenjoy informational and hands-oninstructional meetings about a variety oftopics encompassed within wildernessmedicine. That includes wilderness survival,wilderness emergencies and traumamanagement, dive medicine, land navigation,amateur radio, and more.
