Big Sky Ski Resort, Montana USA: January 8 - 15, 2011
In 2011 join MOTE in one of the Rocky Mountain’s best ski resorts. Big Sky is truly BIG with access to more skiing than any other resort in the United States. Explore up to 5,512 skiable acres, 4,350 feet of vertical drop and runs of up to 6 miles in length. This year's meeting will focus on a case study based approach to a number of key areas in Emergency Medicine. These evening sessions will be complemented by three Morning sessions on the unique topics of Mountain Medicine, Religion and Medicine and the Medical Consequences of Climate Change.
All topics have been selected to be of interest and use to Emergency Physicians, Critical Care Physicians, General Practitioners, Nurses, Paramedics and Students. We encourage an interactive approach at all sessions.
