Educational Outcomes of Virtual and in-Person Wilderness Medicine Boot Camp Training Among Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellows.
Article in Advances in medical education and practice, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Medical boot camps provide simulation and skills training in structured environments. Wilderness Medicine (WM) is a core part of Primary Care Sports Medicine fellowships, teaching participants medical care in rigorous environments. A WM curriculum was delivered using a boot camp-style instructional format. Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effects of virtual versus in-person WM boot camp participation on fellows' knowledge and comfort with WM topics. Methods: A WM boot camp was performed virtually and in-person in two consecutive years (2022 and 2023). Knowledge of individual topics was assessed using a pre and posttest and comfort in these topics immediately following the boot camp was assessed using a post-boot camp self-reported 5-point Likert scale survey. Results of these were analyzed in SAS v9.4 using exact tests for ordinal and nominal outcomes; Results: In-person (n=27) and virtual (n=24) participants showed significant improvement in comfort and knowledge following the boot camp. Both groups demonstrated immediate knowledge improvement, with a median post‑test score increase from six to nine out of ten ( Conclusion: Both virtual and in-person WM boot camp formats produced improvements in knowledge and comfort. These findings act as a preliminary educational evaluation for the support of hybrid education models. Given the limitations of this study, it is necessary for continued evaluation of virtual and in-person learning modalities across medical specialties to guide future medical education.
