Wild Medix’ staff believe that quality wilderness medicine education means meeting our efforts at practical instruction with taking part in academic pursuits such as contributing to research and formal medical publications.
As such, we have been fortunate to have collaborated on multiple projects in the medical literature, such as those listed here:
