Fatal Craniocerebral Injury from Wild Boar Attack

Abstract

Figure 1. Abrasions and puncture wounds on the thighs. There has been and will continue to be proactive communication on behalf of the Society with program directors and medical school deans to inform them of our resources, in both curricula material and speakers. The ability of educators, residents, and students to connect with each other has been expanded through use of the WMS site, which not only facilitates communication but also provides a way to assess the demographics of wilderness medicine education. There has been and will continue to be efforts made to reach out to other academic groups to create practice standards, as well as influence curricula. We are engaged with creating a joint statement on practice standards with the wilderness medicine subsection of the American College of Emergency Physicians. All these steps represent a new and exciting time in the evolution of our field and will further promote the WMS as its sole academic body and as a viable academic clearinghouse for students and future practitioners.
