EMRA MedWAR 2021

The 6th Annual EMRA MedWAR, in collaboration with the ACEP Wilderness Medicine Section, hosted numerous teams at the Blue Hills Reservation, outside Boston, MA on October 28, 2021. It was a day of exhilarating medical scenarios and amazing trails, all surrounded by beautiful fall foliage!

EMRA appreciates and recognizes Drs. Caudell, Haston and Irons for their dedication to Wilderness Medicine and support of EMRA’s MedWAR. Without their participation and support, EMRA would not be able to offer this amazing program to their members.
