An Ultrasound-focused Wilderness Adventure Race

What is SonoWAR?

Inspired by the SonoWAR event hosted on Belle Isle in Detroit, MI by Detroit EUS, we aim to provide the opportunity for a regional, collaborative wilderness medicine event for Southern California. ​Connect with other emergency medicine residency programs, challenge your skills, and learn in a dynamic setting. Attendance includes lunch and the option to camp the night prior and the night of.
