core content for Wilderness Medicine fellowship training of emergency Medicine graduates
Academic Emergency Medicine, 2014Co-Authors: Grant S Lipman, Michael J. Caudell, Lori Weichenthal, Scott E Mcintosh, Stuart N Harris, Tracy Cushing, Darryl Macias, Eric A Weiss, Jay Lemery, Mark A EllisAbstract:Wilderness Medicine is the practice of resource-limited Medicine under austere conditions. In 2003, the first Wilderness Medicine fellowship was established, and as of March 2013, a total of 12 Wilderness Medicine fellowships exist. In 2009 the American College of Emergency Physicians Wilderness Medicine Section created a Fellowship Subcommittee and Taskforce to bring together fellowship directors, associate directors, and other interested stakeholders to research and develop a standardized curriculum and core content for emergency Medicine (EM)-based Wilderness Medicine fellowships. This paper describes the process and results of what became a 4-year project to articulate a standardized curriculum for Wilderness Medicine fellowships. The final product specifies the minimum core content that should be covered during a 1-year Wilderness Medicine fellowship. It also describes the structure, length, site, and program requirements for a Wilderness Medicine fellowship.

Wilderness Medicine within global health a strategy for less risk and more reward
Wilderness & Environmental Medicine, 2011Co-Authors: Jay Lemery, Dana Sacco, Amita Kulkarni, Liz FrancisAbstract:s h p M p w c s a s p In the last several years, healthcare workers and trainees have demonstrated an unprecedented interest in global health and the medical challenges facing developing countries and regions in crisis. Perhaps nowhere is this interest so apparent than in our medical schools and universities, where educators have moved quickly to create programs that meet this enthusiasm. It is now common for medical schools to build relationships with partners overseas and to create formal programs in global health education. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) documented that 45 US medical schools have some sort of global health component in their curricula, with 29.9% of graduating US medical students stating they have had a “global health experience.” However, these programs vary widely, making it unclear whether schools are meeting a baseline standard of global health knowledge in the types of academic and hands-on opportunities offered to students. Collaborative groups such as the Global Health Education Consortium (GHEC) and the Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) have made preliminary attempts to standardize global health curricula by identifying core competencies for medical school global health programs. However, few efforts have been made to assess the risks of institutions sending students abroad, or to decide what skill sets are needed as preconditions to go overseas in a medical capacity. Although there is ample literature on the benefits of short-term international medical training experiences, the dangers associated with sending ill-equipped students to train in resource-poor regions are more difficult to quantify. Little data exist describing accidents occurring among students and trainees working abroad. The US State Department incident database is the most widely cited for injuries

Wilderness Medicine education in the city a new paradigm
Wilderness & Environmental Medicine, 2008Co-Authors: Jay Lemery, Christopher Tedeschi, Todd MinerAbstract:The field of Wilderness Medicine continues to mature and is now making headway into urban medical institutions not historically viewed as repositories of backcountry care. We discuss these factors as well as offer our institution’s recent experience in developing a Wilderness Medicine curriculum as a rationale and a potential template for expanding educational and practice opportunities for other urban graduate medical education training programs.

development of a Wilderness and travel Medicine rotation in an academic setting
Wilderness & Environmental Medicine, 2004Co-Authors: Darryl Macias, Kendall Rogers, John AlcockAbstract:Wilderness Medicine courses tend to teach similar topics, but they can differ with respect to philosophy, teaching methods, and financing. Our not-for-profit course is academically based and is similar to other programs with regard to presentations of didactic material and outdoor training, but there are also important differences in teaching methodology that are not used by other programs to date. Innovative methods, such as problem-based learning and use of the human patient simulator, which are unique to our program, have been successful in our courses and may be of use to Wilderness medical education. We hope that sharing information about our program will help make Wilderness Medicine training more standardized and uniform.

where Wilderness Medicine technology and religion collide
Wilderness & Environmental Medicine, 2014Co-Authors: Lori Weichenthal, Sameir AlhadiAbstract:We report a case of a man injured in Yosemite National Park (YNP) whose use of technology and refusal of medical care, based on his Christian Science religious beliefs, created multiple challenges to the providers working to rescue and care for him. This case illustrates how our increasingly diverse and complex world requires flexibility and openness to provide the optimal care, both in the Wilderness and in the front country.

Improvised Traction Splints: A Wilderness Medicine Tool or Hindrance?
Wilderness & environmental medicine, 2012Co-Authors: Lori Weichenthal, Susanne J. Spano, Brian Horan, Jacob C. MissAbstract:Objectives To investigate whether a traction splint made from improvised materials is as efficacious as commercially available devices in terms of traction provided and perceived comfort and stability. Methods This was a prospective randomized crossover study utilizing 10 healthy, uninjured volunteers. The subjects were randomized to be placed in 4 different traction devices, in differing order, each for 30 minutes. Three of the traction splints are commercially available: The HARE, Sager, and Faretech CT-EMS. The fourth traction device was an improvised splint made as described in Medicine for the Backcountry: A Practical Guide to Wilderness First Aid . At the end of 30 minutes the pounds of force created by each device was measured. The volunteers were also asked at that time to subjectively report the comfort and stability of the splint separately on a scale from 1 to 10. Results All traction splints performed similarly with regard to the primary outcome measure of mean pounds of traction created at the end of 30 minutes of application with results ranging from 10.4 to 13.3 pounds. There was little difference reported by participants in regard to stability or comfort between the 4 traction devices. Conclusions In this small pilot study, an improvised traction splint was not inferior to commercially available devices. Further research in needed in this area.
