Veteran's Weekend hike @ Hocking Hills!
Welcome to the Wilderness Medicine Interest Group at OSU College of Medicine page! Stay tuned Wild Buckeyes!
This is just another way to keep you informed on not only our events, but wilderness medicine happenings across the globe. The purpose of the Wilderness Medicine Interest Group is to increase awareness of, and interest in, wilderness medicine. This is accomplished through education in basic wilderness medicine skills, techniques, knowledge, as well as education regarding future experiences in wilderness medicine.

Two weeks ago we had a full class for Primary Assessment of Trauma in the Wilderness! Some great education about what to do when you see an undifferentiated patient. We went through several scenarios and even carried out a patient in a rope litter. Look forward to a "Stop the Bleed" massive hemorrhage workshop with Dr. Dan Bachmann in the coming weeks!

I hope you all enjoyed your holiday season! I came across a digital Wilderness Med grand rounds sponsored by Brown EM covering hypothermia and frostbite. It’s about 10-15 minutes long and would be a great way to learn something new or review for your cold weather adventures!
