EVMS program hosts wilderness medicine
race April 14, 2008
Thirty-six teams from along the East Coast
spent a dreary Saturday trudging the woods of Newport News for the third annual
MedWAR (Medical Wilderness Adventure Racing) held in Hampton Roads. The EVMS
emergency medicine residency program sponsored the race, and six of the
three-person teams included EVMS students or residents. Other teams came from
schools such as Johns Hopkins University, New York Medical College, Duke
University and the University of Virginia, among others.
The Uniformed Services University of the Health
Sciences’ Christian Medical Association team finished the grueling race with a
final time just over 7 hours, 15 minutes including penalty time. EVMS’ “Not Sure
Yet” trio of Branden Reid, Patrick Finkley and Patrick Cronyn came in a close
second.
