Wilderness medicine education is interesting to medical students, yet not widely implemented in Canadian medical curricula. We describe a curriculum for a pre-clerkship wilderness medicine elective at a Canadian medical school. Our study reports increased student awareness of career opportunities in wilderness medicine after elective completion, and interest in hands-on learning for wilderness medicine topics. Medical schools may benefit from incorporating feedback from our elective towards a successful wilderness medicine curriculum in their own programs.
荒野医学教育对医学生很有吸引力，但在加拿大的医学课程中并未广泛实施。我们描述了加拿大一所医学院的一门预实习荒野医学选修课程的课程设置。我们的研究报告表明，选修荒野医学后，学生对荒野医学职业机会的认识有所提高，对荒野医学主题的实践学习也更感兴趣。医学院可以从我们的选修课中吸取经验，在自己的课程中成功开设荒野医学课程。
