The Wilderness and Austere Medicine Society of Malaysia (WAMS) was established in 2019 by a group of passionate emergency physicians, wilderness medicine enthusiasts, outdoor educators, doctors, and paramedics. The society was officially registered with the Registrar of Societies (ROS) on 6th August 2020.
Although our certificates are endorsed by a national body, all training modules are developed by a panel of experts—comprising internationally recognized wilderness medicine fellows—and aligned with international standards set by the Wilderness Medicine Education Collaborative (WMEC). This ensures that WAMS stands on par with other renowned wilderness medical societies worldwide.
