From Classroom to Canyon: EM Trainees Tackle Wilderness Medicine on Camelback
As part of ACOEP’s 2025 Spring Seminar, our Resident Student Programming featured Wilderness Medicine: The Ultimate Emergency Playground!—an immersive, high-intensity experience led by Dr. John Dery. Emergency medicine students and residents from across the country took to Camelback Mountain, where they faced real-life scenarios like heat stroke, fractures, and anaphylaxis in a rugged, unpredictable environment.

“Being a member of ACOEP has kept me connected. Connected to other practicing physicians. Connected to the reason I am an osteopathic emergency physician. Connected to the knowledge and practice of emergency medicine. Connected to the evolution of the multitude of administrative, political and legal aspects of emergency medicine.”
“There is a camaraderie among the physicians and the staff of ACOEP.”
“My favorite part of being a member of ACOEP is the partnership with my colleagues to promote health, and staying current with advances in medical technologies.”
“Being a DO means caring and treating patients in a respectful manner. Having an awareness of commitment to duty and responsible healthcare and willingness to teach.”
“ACOEP helps guide a path with continuing education on this course of life-long learning. The training never stops.”
