Wilderness Nursing Interest Group
Description
The Wilderness Nursing Committee at CAWM seeks to explore nursing practice issues in remote and
wilderness settings, provide education, outreach, and support. Additionally we aim to connect nurses,
students, and other interested providers or groups working in those settings.
