Pacific Northwest Wilderness Medicine

PNWM incorporated in 2018 to fulfill the need for advanced wilderness medicine education in the Pacific Northwest. While other organizations offered introductory trainings for laypersons, few courses targeted healthcare providers and none in the region were designed for healthcare students. After hosting the 2nd annual Northwest Wilderness Medicine Conference, the founders identified a regional need for educational opportunities in advanced concepts of wilderness medicine with pricing and structure accessible to health professions students. Pacific Northwest Wilderness Medicine will fill that void by offering instruction and events designed to teach health professions students and providers how to apply their medical training to the field of wilderness medicine.
