Description:
Ben finished his medical residency in 2003 and has since involved himself heavily in wilderness medicine instruction. He founded the Student Interest Group program of the Wilderness Medical Society in 1996, and served as its first International Student Representative. He co-founded the society’s medical student elective in Wilderness and Environmental Medicine, and has participated in editing the society’s Practice Guidelines for Wilderness Emergency Care. Ben has trained with the San Diego Mountain Rescue team, and has worked in Emergency departments from Alaska to California. In his free time, he privately guides, and continues to travel extensively in developing countries around the world where he aspires, as an amateur ethnobotanist, to learn of medical remedies from isolated, indigenous cultures. An avid backpacker, canoer, and SCUBA diver, if Ben is your course instructor, he will expect you to join him in a game of ultimate frisbee.
