The National Conference on Wilderness Medicine on 25 Jul 2026 - 29 Jul 2026

The National Conference on Wilderness Medicine in Big Sky, Montana is one of the premier and longest-running CME conferences in wilderness and travel medicine. Designed for healthcare professionals across all specialties, the conference delivers practical, experience-based education focused on providing care in remote, resource-limited, and high-risk environments.

Over five days, attendees will participate in more than 30 expert-led presentations covering essential topics such as environmental exposure, altitude illness, trauma care, expedition medicine, and emergency response in austere settings. Sessions are taught by renowned faculty and emphasize real-world application, equipping participants with skills they can immediately apply in both wilderness and traditional clinical settings.

In addition to the core conference, participants may enhance their experience through optional hands-on workshops focused on wilderness survival, trauma management, and improvised medical techniques. For those seeking advanced training, the Advanced Wilderness and Expedition Provider (AWEP) Certification® offers an intensive, scenario-based course designed to prepare providers for leadership roles in expedition and remote medicine.

This conference is ideal for physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, EMS professionals, and anyone interested in wilderness, travel, or expedition medicine-whether preparing for global health work, practicing in rural environments, or looking to expand their clinical skillset.

Set at Big Sky Resort and surrounded by the rugged beauty of Montana, the experience extends beyond the classroom. Attendees can explore nearby Yellowstone National Park, hike scenic mountain trails, or enjoy activities like fly fishing, rafting, and wildlife viewing. The combination of high-level education, hands-on learning, and an iconic outdoor destination makes this conference a truly immersive and unforgettable CME experience.
