Research

The Wilderness Medical Society  is keenly interested in fostering awareness and appreciation among healthcare professionals and scientists for the research of health-related concerns in outdoor and wilderness activities. The Charles S. Houston and Research-in-Training Awards are selected on a competitive basis to provide funding for a research project in the field of wilderness medicine. The Charles S. Houston Award is for medical students and the Research- in-Training Award is for residents and fellows of an accredited graduate medical education program or doctoral candidates working towards a PhD.  The Herbert N. Hultgren Award is for members of the WMS Society.
