GME Fellowships

In addition to the societal fellowship program through the Academy of Wilderness Medicine that the WMS offers, multiple fellowship programs have been developed throughout the country which offer an extra year of specialty training in the discipline of Wilderness Medicine. These programs are housed in a variety of departments and are providing a very focused and in-depth experience to physicians who are interested in Wilderness Medicine. These programs have a core curriculum and provide experiential training in wilderness environments as part of their educational curriculum.

The WMS is the societal home for these Wilderness Medicine fellowships and, as such, provides a forum for support and an exchange of ideas between programs in an effort to promote teaching current and comprehensive concepts in Wilderness Medicine. The WMS also provides an opportunity for the fellows to present scholarly activities such as posters and case presentations at our annual meetings. GME Fellows currently in their training year at a WMS-certified fellowship program are eligible for a 15% discount on conference registration and DiMM sessions, as well as complimentary FAWM application fees.
