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!

Congratulations to the Texas Tech Health Science Center – Lubbock for winning the inaugural Dr. Paul Auerbach Spirit Award.  Dr. Auerbach was the creator and huge champion of our MedWAR event.

  • EMRA Medical Student Council
  • Kent Hospital
  • Mount Sinai Medical Center Miami Beach

  • UCF/Osceola Regional Medical Center

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.

Thank you to BTG for their generous support and to Elsevier for their donation of Auerbach’s Wilderness Medicine books.

Start preparing your teams now!  MedWAR 2022 is coming!
