OUR MISSION:
As a group we aim to help medical
students discover the importance of
clinical reasoning and creating diagnostic
schema through collective collaboration.
We hope to establish an environment in
which having a knowledge gap is an
opportunity for learning, and not a point
of weakness. We hope to help everyone
here at the COM develop their clinical
problem-solving abilities and learn from
practicing physicians how to go about
solving cases.
Feel free to reach
out to our email for
more information.
We look forward to
seeing you all in the
upcoming year!

To advance healthcare, research andeducation related to wilderness medicine.
Wilderness Medicine is the study of acutecare in austere and remote environments,often with limited access to medicalresources, which forces one to think outsidethe luxurious box of the modern hospital.Members of the Wilderness Medical Societyenjoy informational and hands-oninstructional meetings about a variety oftopics encompassed within wildernessmedicine. That includes wilderness survival,wilderness emergencies and traumamanagement, dive medicine, land navigation,amateur radio, and more.
