In a little more than 1 week, Darryl Macias MD and I will welcome 20 students for the University of New Mexico's Wilderness International & Improvisational Medicine Course! The first week of the course will take students to the Sandia Mountains for high desert hiking and backcountry and alpine skiing adventures. Each excursion has a heavy didactic component and features scenario-based learning. We will end the week with a visit to the BATCAVE, a computer-driven human mannequin that allows students to practice life-saving techniques in wilderness cardiac and respiratory arrest scenarios. Later, we will visit a backcountry yurt in Taos, the remote desert of north central New Mexico (pictured above), and the canyon country of Utah! Visit this blog for upcoming updates as we track our progress through the month!
