This online module is designed for medical professionals of all levels seeking continuing education credits, those seeking Wilderness Medical Society FAWM credit, or for anyone interested in learning more about this topic.
The austere environment can place the human body under unique stress not commonly experienced in a front country setting. As a result, special care should be given to nutrition and hydration in these settings. In this module you will learn about the which types of fuel are best suited to which outdoor activity, how to best prepare prior to an extended trip, and how to fuel and recover both during and after these trips.
After viewing a specific learning module from the WLS:MP Online Lecture Library, participants in the AdventureMed Online Lecture CME Program should be able to demonstrate an increase in, or affirmation of, their knowledge of wilderness medicine. Participants should be able to evaluate the appropriateness of the information as it applies to the provision of patient care or counseling.
