We describe a curriculum for a pre-clerkship wilderness medicine elective at a Canadian medical school. Our study reports increased student awareness of career opportunities in wilderness medicine after elective completion, and interest in hands-on learning for wilderness medicine topics. Medical schools may benefit from incorporating feedback from our elective towards a successful wilderness medicine curriculum in their own programs. |
