Every year, our Emergency Medicine residents travel to rural Nova Scotia in September- arguably the most beautiful month- for our Wilderness Retreat. For these few days we live, learn and play in the woods learning orienteering, water and wilderness rescue, and many other skills. The opportunity provides much needed time with peers from EM programs coupled with high-level expertise from experts in outdoor skills and survival.

Of course, the experience is rounded up with hiking, swimming, outdoor dining and campfires for an incomparable learning experience.
