If it seems like I have been posting a lot on high altitude, here is the reason. I am taking part in the 2019 Mountain Emergency Medicine Conference taking place this year at Taos Ski Valley. Check out the flyer and registration information here.

I will be speaking about Andean and Sherpa adaptation to high altitude on day 2 of the conference, March 22, 2019. I hope to answer the question – what can we learn from high altitude populations that translates to everyday emergency and high altitude medicine? Fun stuff, and I hope to see you there!
