Big Sky Ski Resort, MT

This conference is incredibly well run and the content of the lectures is evidence based, extremely well taught and supported by personal experiences. I came knowing very basic information and left with many new skills and knowledge to apply in my primary care clinic as well as in my own adventures!

Fun, informative, learned a lot of things I hadn't heard before.

Great conference with lots of useful information, especially tips and tricks to practice medicine in the wilderness. Schedule allows for afternoon recreational activities as well.

Awesome experience. Highly recommended for anyone interested in medicine in austere environments

That it was fantastic. Exactly what I was hoping it would be, and so much fun to learn all of the hands-on tricks of the trade.

This was one of my most favorite CME courses I've attended. It was interesting, the speakers were knowledgeable and had great case studies to share. It was practical and gave me some tools and practical knowledge for situations where I am the only person with medical training outside a medical setting (including on an airplane).

I felt a high level of appreciation for active emergency and wilderness providers, as a primary care doctor there is a lot of useful information, if anything to enhance awareness of what patients may encounter.

I was very impressed with each of the lectures. As a young and new medical professional I found the information to be informative and engaging. Each of the speakers had wonderful stage presence and were clearly very knowledgeable about the topics.

The information gleaned during this conference will aid in my physical exams, orthopedic and trauma assessments and obviously help me when I’m out of the hospital/clinic setting in initial assessment and management of potential medial issues

Extremely informative. I have taken the course twice & I always learn something new.

I already have. I strongly recommend attending. I am a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. I have attempted 40 years of meetings on pediatric orthopedics. I don't need to hear any more about club feet, scoliosis ... Wilderness Medicine was very refreshing!!!

If you enjoy the great outdoors and travel adventures there’s definitely something for you at this conference.

Best conference I've been to--learned a lot in a spectacular location and fueled my passion for the outdoors!

Amazing conference! Interesting topics and great speakers!

Engaging lectures and speakers. Always something new to take away

have more confidence in providing pre hospital and wilderness medical assistance

It is the best conference to learn practical knowledge and skills you can use help others. It is definitely worth it.

Very worthwhile no matter what your background is, medical or not.

Get out of your comfort zone and learn something new.

Fantastic but will need to review the lectures multiple times over the next few months

You should go, the faculty have insane amounts of experience and knowledge that they are excited to share, as well as funny and interesting stories to tell!

Great for adventure travelers as well as physicians doing mission work.

I will be more confident in my ability to contribute positively to wilderness medical care and SAR teams.

lectures were excellent! Favorite...Dr Donner!

Amazing Institution! Highly Recommend! Take the AWEP Certification Course! You won't be disappointed.

Best Conferences I have gone to. Very knowledgeable, humble, and kind lecturers. I have gone 3 times and will keep going. What makes it even better is that it is a Very Family Friendly conference with tons of workshops for my kids and even some my wife can go to. I can't find other conferences with family activities. All lecturers are recorded and everyone gets access to them after so if there is a fun activity you want to do as a family you won't miss out. Every conference should be set up this way.

This conference was top notch. I learned so many practical skills that are relevant to my life even outside of work. The speakers were beyond experienced. No teaching out of a textbook here. They all had real hands on stories from situations they themselves had encountered in their careers. It made the talks so engaging. Also half day conferences so you can explore the beautiful area?! What a great week!

Great conference. I’m non-medical but I receive a lot of take away information to treat and avoid medical situations while enjoying the outdoors. Wife is physician and fills in the gaps for drugs etc. Again, great conference. Attendees are great people as well.

Definitely sign up to attend one!!!

I have already told many! Cant recommend this course enough. Great info for any physician, especially those that spend significant time outdoors

It is engaging and useful even if you don't plan on practicing out of the country/while adventuring.

Go to this conference; it is great!

Great speakers, great topics, great location. Highly recommended.

I would brag so much about the amount of knowledge that the lecturers had

A conference everyone should attend! Information for extreme and everyday encounters that could help save a life

It is always worth the time and expense. Very good value for money and time. The lecturers are always up to date, focused, full of helpful examples. I do it every two years. You should join me.

That while this was a Wilderness medicine conference there were many good takeaways for practice in clinic

If you enjoy the outdoors, travel or an active lifestyle, this is the conference to go to!

Meeting new colleagues and obtaining all information from previous experiences in the wilderness and case scenario. The ability to improvise by using the information and skills from the faculty.

Incredible conference. All information was relevant, even to non-expeditionary providers. Highly recommend.

This was an excellent experience, especially for AD military.

Far surpassed my expectations. I thought all the instructors did a great job.

Great experience! Very interesting topics, keep you engaged.

This is a great alternative to a traditional, clinical medical conference. Material is presented in short bursts of very relevant information, keeping it interesting throughout the conference. If you are someone who spends time out doors, the material will not only help in your practice, but add to your personal knowledge as well.

Conference was fun! Great speakers, great stories / case studies, so glad I attended

recommended for all my outdoor enthursiatic friends

Excellent and enjoyable

this is my 4th or 5 th attendance, and I have AWEP. it is exciting, thought provoking and a chance to have interaction with world class experts

I will be recommending this CME. It was a great balance of being in class and time to explore. Every speaker was great. Outstanding job!

Great experience

If you ever wanted to be useful outside the clinic, this is where you need to go!

I would say it was absolutely incredible and it is for everyone!!

Applicable and helpful to emergency medicine physicians to learn more about environmental situations that we may and will encounter

Excellent and informative educational experience! As a hiker and fly fisherman I found this very helpful. I believe that non medical individuals would find this very interesting. But as a retired physician it was excellent. Very useful for preparation on any outdoor activity.

This is one of the best medical conferences that I've gone to in my 30 year career as an internal medicine physician. Informative, fun and interesting. I highly recommend!

Wonderful speakers, organization, topics, and setting. This was the 1st Wilderness conference I've been to and it exceeded my expectations!

Excellent time spent with those who speak the same “medical and unconventional setting” language. Thank you for all the efforts to bring together the wealth of knowledge so helpful and fascinating.

Awesome course. The instructors were great and the other healthcare attendees were like minded and fun to be around!

The wilderness and travel medicine conference was enjoyable and informative. The conference features presenters with vast knowledge and experience in providing care in austere environments, bringing not only their past challenges they personally have faced but also a zeal for the subject matter that is infectious. The accommodations, food, staff and setting provided an enjoyable venue for learning, networking and exploring the different aspect of wilderness medicine. The presenters were overtly knowledgeable and entertaining allowing for easy attention to the information. I recommend this conference to anyone interested in learning and practicing any care in the outdoors.

Blew me away! Incredibly inspirational, high-quality education. Surpassed my expectations.

Every speaker was full of helpful relevant info and they were all passionate and entertaining! I’ve had 28 years of attending many different conferences and this one is my favorite!! So practical , fun and entertaining!

Absolutely the most enjoyable and interesting CME conference I have ever attended! Probably the best group of lecturers I have ever experienced.

The only conference I’ve attended where I was continuously riveted to my seat and yearned for more.

Absolutely riveting conference!! It keeps you interested and yearning for more! The interactive workshops are a must. This conference convinced me to stay in the medical field!

Love this seminar! Great speakers! This is my fourth time...I always learn something new...I find the information invaluable and infinitely entertaining! Thank you!

I attended the conference as a representative from ACEP Education Committee...it was the best conference I have been to in years. Well organized, excellent speakers and great setting.

Look no further for fantastic wilderness medicine education, with renowned faculty and engaging hands-on workshops. Highly informative and enjoyable. The skiing at Big Sky is legendary.

I was inspired on many levels - certainly the best conference I have ever attended...this conference is such a unique one... such a wonderful experience...It reminds me of why I went into medicine in the first place!

An exceptional conference chock-full of fascinating and useful information by highly entertaining, skilled and seasoned wilderness medicine professionals. A must attend for any medical professional who ventures off the beaten path.
