Objectives
|
This course will introduce students to the epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical practice of Wilderness Medicine: the care of patients in remote environments lacking typical health care resources, often under harsh conditions.
The course will be taught using traditional lectures, simulation activities, course reading assignments, and multiple practical workshops.
The course is designed to be 10 weeks in length. We will meet every Wednesday for 2 hours. This time will be devoted to lectures and workshop activities. A one day wilderness excursion with integrated Simulation Scenarios will also be planned at the end of the course. This will provide students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge and experience Wilderness Medicine for themselves. Student grades will be based on classroom and workshop attendance, as well as "Scenario" preparation and execution.
