À propos de l'ACMERE
L'Association canadienne de médecine d'expédition et en région éloignée (ACMERE) a été fondée en 2020. Il s'agit d'une organisation dirigée par ses membres, qui est constituée en organisme à but non lucratif auprès des autorités fédérales.
L'ACMERE a été créée dans le but de mettre en relation les praticiens, les chercheurs, les éducateurs et les professionnels canadiens qui s'intéressent à la médecine en milieu sauvage à travers le Canada, et de promouvoir ce domaine en tant que centre d'intérêt et de spécialisation.
L'ACMERE reconnaît et valorise une expertise diversifiée provenant de tous les types d'expérience, d'éducation et de pratique. Nous comptons parmi nos membres des ambulanciers, des infirmières, des bénévoles en recherche et sauvetage, des patrouilleurs de ski, des premiers répondants, des chercheurs universitaires et des médecins.
