The National Conference on Wilderness Medicine at Big Sky Ski Resort, Montana, is one of the premier and longest-running CME conferences in wilderness and travel medicine. Designed for healthcare professionals across all specialties, the conference delivers practical, experience-based education focused on providing care in remote, resource-limited, and high-risk environments. Held February 20–24, 2027, the five-day conference features 30 expert-led CME presentations covering a wide range of essential wilderness and travel medicine topics. Sessions are taught by renowned faculty with extensive real-world experience and emphasize practical skills and clinical decision-making that can be applied in wilderness, expedition, emergency, rural, and traditional healthcare settings. Attendees can further enhance their experience through optional hands-on workshops, including wilderness survival, snow shelter building, suturing, travel medicine, reduction of dislocations, and other practical wilderness medicine skills. For providers seeking more advanced training, the Advanced Wilderness and Expedition Provider (AWEP) Certification® offers an intensive, hands-on course designed to prepare healthcare professionals to confidently serve in expedition, wilderness, and search-and-rescue settings. The conference is ideal for physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, residents, paramedics, EMTs, and other professionals interested in wilderness, travel, expedition, or remote medicine. Whether preparing to provide care in austere environments, expanding emergency and outdoor medicine skills, or simply looking for a unique and engaging way to earn CME, attendees leave with practical knowledge they can put to use well beyond the conference. Set at Big Sky Resort in the heart of the Montana mountains, the winter conference combines high-quality medical education with one of the country’s premier winter destinations. Conference attendees can take advantage of Big Sky’s world-class downhill skiing and snowboarding, along with snowshoeing, ski touring, snowmobiling, wildlife viewing, and winter exploration of nearby Yellowstone National Park. With expert education, hands-on training, and opportunities to experience Montana in the heart of winter, the National Conference on Wilderness Medicine at Big Sky offers a truly immersive CME experience-where attendees can expand their clinical skills in the classroom and then head straight to the mountain.
