FAWM Lecture Series
This programme is modelled on the 12 compulsory domains of the Fellowship in Wilderness Medicine (see www.wms.org/fawm for details) and will carry FAWM credits and CPD accreditation. Each session will include a lecture, either from a Wild Medix team member or guest speaker, a case-based discussion and an electronic quiz with time for feedback and discussion. We've got some great speakers lined up for the year!
​
The lectures will be held at our venue in Montague Gardens, Cape Town.
