What physicians say

Pieter V. on the trail during a FiresideCME trip

“Fireside CME is the best of both worlds: learning tips and techniques on the bike from local guides who are part of the community, as well as hands on and didactic wilderness CME you could use on your next ride or adventure. I appreciated the smaller size groups where you feel like you get to know folks. Everyone has different perspectives and experiences to share on the trail and during lecture. 10/10 would recommend.”

— Pieter V., PA, Emergency Medicine

“I had such a great experience at Fireside CME! The education was top notch. So much variety to keep us engaged — learning how to identify venomous snakes, plan a high-elevation ascent, carry an unconscious person down a mountain, and everything in between! I will definitely be back.”

— Sean T., MD, Emergency Medicine

“FiresideCME created a fantastic experience! I’ve attended several wilderness medicine courses over the years but none quite like this! All lectures, hands on instruction and practice sessions were done outside. The lectures were organized, interactive and informative. It was the first time I’ve experienced wilderness medicine lectures with a specific mountain biking twist! When it came to riding the trails of Crested Butte, the local guides did an excellent job reading the group’s abilities. The rides were challenging in all the best ways. If you are a medical provider who loves to spend time outside, especially on your mountain bike, I’d highly recommend this course!”

— Beth B., RN, Flight Nurse

“Attended the inaugural conference in Crested Butte, where there was lots of great hands-on learning and gnarly riding. It was great to connect with medical professionals from a variety of backgrounds and training.”
