Wilderness Medicine Interest Group
- How do you treat a snakebite?
- What medical equipment should you carry when you go camping, or
sailing?
- How should you treat cholera if no antibiotics are available?
- A sailor on your submarine has a staph infection--what do you do?
- How can I build a career that includes providing care outside of a
hospital setting?
Tulane Wilderness Medicine Interest Group (TWIG) is the group to help you ask and answer these questions. We focus on providing care in
difficult environments with limited resources. It includes people
interested in medicine in developing countries, military medicine,
being outdoors, or anyone with a passing interest in questions like
these.
Obviously, none of us will do a residency in wilderness medicine, but
this knowledge might be helpful for people interested in rural
practice, pulmonary critical care, toxicology, emergency medicine,
orthopedics and sports medicine, military physicians, and others. The
Wilderness Medicine Society and the Uniformed Services University of
the Health Sciences offer an elective for 3rd and 4th-year students.
