Update for the Natl’ Conference at Big Sky Resort (July 25-29, 2020)

June 3, 2020 COVID-19 Update For Registrants and Prospective Registrants of The National Conference on Wilderness Medicine – Big Sky (July 25 – 29, 2020)

We have made the very difficult but necessary decision to cancel the onsite National Conference on Wilderness Medicine scheduled for July 25 – 29, 2020 at Big Sky Resort, Montana. Your safety and well-being are paramount to us. The present status of the pandemic remains protean with many states still struggling to mitigate new infection and hospitalization rates. In consultation with our colleagues at the CDC and public health department we feel that it is not yet prudent to bring a large group of health care providers together from all parts of the country for a meeting this summer. Many of our faculty are still under some form of travel restriction by their medical center and have not been cleared to travel to a medical conference.

The National Conference on Wilderness Medicine will now be offered as a live-streamed online conference, which you can enjoy from the comfort of your home. It will provide 33 exciting presentations from renowned speakers, and 24 hours of continuing medical education (CME) credit, interactive question/answer sessions and one-year of ongoing access to the recorded conference sessions.

Thank you for your interest in this field of medicine, and for your understanding of the changes we’ve had to make during this pandemic. We look forward to seeing you for exciting and informative presentations and lively question/answer sessions beginning July 25th.

Although we are holding our May 27-31, 2020, Santa Fe wilderness medicine conference in a virtual, live stream webcast format, we are still hoping to be able to offer The National Conference on Wilderness Medicine at Big Sky, Montana July 25 – 29, 2020 on-site.
