Wilderness & Environmental Medicine (WEM)

Wilderness & Environmental Medicine is a respected, quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that serves as the official scientific publication of the Wilderness Medical Society (WMS). Launched in its current form in 1995 and continuing the legacy of the Journal of Wilderness Medicine, the journal focuses on rigorous research and practical insights into medical care in remote and environmentally challenging conditions. It addresses the physiological, clinical, and operational aspects of human health in settings such as high altitude, marine environments, extreme temperatures, wilderness trauma, and disaster zones. The journal publishes original research studies, clinical case reports, reviews, and technical papers that deepen understanding of how environmental stressors influence human physiology and medical outcomes. Its interdisciplinary scope encompasses wilderness, emergency, environmental, sports, and travel medicine — providing evidence-based findings that help clinicians, expedition leaders, emergency personnel, and researchers improve patient care and safety in austere situations. By fostering collaboration among scientists and practitioners, Wilderness & Environmental Medicine advances best practices, innovative treatment approaches, and preventive strategies for addressing the unique medical challenges of extreme environments and contributes to the global body of knowledge in environmental and expedition health sciences.
