Paramedics, consider the CAWM conference as one of the few conference options that may be available for credit in the 2020/2021 registration cycle.

The Banff Wilderness Care Conference plans to continue to be an in person, hands on training opportunity. We are still figuring out how that will look. The future may see us join with the CAWM; having them to provide the lectures and the BWCC providing hands on skills training and workshops. Stay tuned for more as we work through these changing times.

Also, please consider joining the CAWM so paramedicine can continue to be a strong voice within the association. We would like to thank paramedic Mack Wardle, ACP for his amazing work as a founding member of this exciting new group.
