This Continuing Medical Education (CME) class in Wilderness and Travel Medicine while exploring Lima, hiking Peru’s Inca Trail and visiting Machu Picchu is a true classic that should be on every adventurer’s “to-do” list.

It is difficult to describe the magnificence of Machu Picchu, a stone fortress city nestled below stunning peaks. It is perhaps the greatest mystery of the Inca Empire. The four-day trek on the Inca Trail to reach this pre-Columbian site is a pilgrimage through time. Beautiful Andean scenery, as well as cultural history, unfolds as we hike up and down steep stone staircases past ancient Inca outposts.

Our guides and porters will carry all of your gear and prepare delicious meals on the trail. After hiking the Inca Trail you’ll have a quick afternoon to explore Machu Picchu, returning the following day to thoroughly appreciate this magnificent UNESCO World Heritage Center.

Wilderness Medicine Continuing Medical Education seminars will typically take place in the afternoons between 5 and 7pm, before dinner is served.

Practical CME with hands on experience. Outstanding educator: Kyle.
Bhutan is an incredible place. Very green country, traditional dress and very Buddhist but people are accepting of everyone. Amazing trip with good blend of hiking and cultural experiences, even a go at archery, the national sport.

My wife and I participated in the wilderness travel CME program in Idaho on the middle Fork river in September. It was an outstanding experience. In particular, Chris Sanford, our CME instructor was superlative. Not only did he have excellent lectures, which occurred multiple times during the day. But he also in advance of the trip sent us extremely interesting and relevant articles to whet our appetite. The lectures during the trip were informal and informative. They were very appropriate in terms of length of time and content. Everyone was very engaged. Chris also utilized the resources of the doctors on the trip to further enrich the experience. He was enthusiastic, always upbeat and had a wealth of knowledge to share. In addition, his extensive travel and anecdotes were a pleasure to listen to. …Overall, I would say he’s one of the best instructors we’ve had and if you have the opportunity to take a trip with him, I would say jump on it. Best, David Gendelman.
