Elena Gallegos Wilderness Journal Club


Tomorrow will be a fun filled time, which includes a journal club review by those below. While we have lived the dream this month with rich outdoor experiences, we are mindful that, while wilderness medicine is not always evidence based, we are trying to unearth nuggets of evidence in this field, so that at least, if faced with real life situations, we can be a bit more authoritative (or pretend to be)!

The List:

Dan Hoopes: Cycling Sportsmedicine article from JBJS
Evan Tobin and Mike Roehlk: Adventure Race injuries (under "Ortho and Sports" in Trauma-Sports Med folder
Rob Shoots and Tim Madden: Backcountry Ultrasound in Resuscitation folder
Lars Peterson, Justin Kan and Chris Loucks: Airline Emergencies and Fever after Travel (under "Casual Travelers" in Infectious Disease folder)
Chang Rim and Fernando Monreal: Worsening Breath Hold Dive Hypoxia (under "For Diving Pros" in Marine folder)

We will discuss many topics that will be pertinent to the final exam. The fun begins at 1pm, under the covered BBQ area of Elena Gallegos: go to the gate and turn left, following the road till you find a large covered open roof area. If lost, call Jason. BTW: you are free to barbeque!
