Boundary Waters

There is magic in the feel of a paddle and the movement of a canoe, a magic compounded of distance,
adventure, solitude and peace. The way of a canoe is the way of the wilderness and of a freedom almost
forgotten, the open door to waterways of ages past and a way of life with profound and abiding satisfaction.
– Sigurd Olson

CME Canoe Trip

Guided and fully outfitted canoe trips in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA) near Ely, Minnesota.

Fully Outfitted Guided Boundary Waters Canoe Trips for Friends and Families

Continuing Medical Education (CME)
Adventure Learning Trip
Sept. 7 - 12, 2010

Combine a Boundary Waters canoeing experience with a quality
Continuing Medical Education conference. You will spend the week canoeing and camping
in the scenic Boundary Waters and obtaining 15 hours of CME.

Participants arrive at the lodge in Ely, Minnesota, on the first afternoon. The first night
includes a welcome dinner and lodging. CME presentations and camping trip preparations
will take place at the lodge throughout the first full day. Depending on speaker availability
and group interest, the group may also spend the second night at the lodge (then spending
the following three nights camping). Alternatively, the group may launch the canoe camping
trip following the presentations on the first full day (then spending the following four nights
camping). Either way, the group will return to the lodge on Saturday, for a hot shower and
celebration dinner. CME talks not completed at the lodge will be done on the trail. The trip
will wrap up after Sunday's breakfast.

The CME portion of the trip will consist of 15 hours of Category 1 AMA and AAFP accredited
CME provided by Corvidae Medical Expeditions. This trip offers practical CME that is
designed to be useful in the daily practice of the practicing physician or health care
professional. This is not a wilderness medicine course, but wilderness medicine topics
relevant to the area we're traveling through are occasionally added. The topics are varied and
chosen to be relevant to a variety of specialties. Please check back soon for more information
on the curriculum.

This trip includes your first and last night's stay in an Ely lodge, 15 hours of CME credit, a
fully outfitted paddling and camping Boundary Waters adventure, and a seasoned canoe
camping guide. It also includes all of your meals from the time you arrive until you depart.

Families are welcome. Please contact us for more information
regarding this CME opportunity.
