About Us
The Wilderness Medical Society's Student
Interest Groups (SIGs) give medical students and residents/fellows an
opportunity to explore the field of wilderness medicine through student electives and research opportunities.
Students are also able to network with leaders in the field, and each
other, at
annual conferences.
You can join the society
individually
($50 per year or $175 for four years) or through the SIG at their
school. For more information about joining the Wilderness Medical
Society please email the
Membership Committee. If you are a SIG leader or are interested in
starting a SIG at your school, check out the SIG
resources.
Those interested in serving in a national leadership role have the opportunity to join one of our many committees.
In additional to academic
opportunities, the SIG
website also provides an outlet for students to come together and
foster friendships that will last beyond medical school and residency.
We have recently developed a Facebook Group
as well as a Google
Group where students can meet and discuss
research/elective opportunities, upcoming conferences, and wilderness
medicine in general.
Additionally, we run the Round Table at the annual summer and winter conferences involving both student/faculty led events and social activities.
We are a student run organization and as such are very open to your input. Please send any comments/suggestions to the WMS Student Representative.
