The ATMA Research Team is excited to announce that a preliminary report from our study examining Acute Mountain Sickness rates in the Himalayas has been accepted for presentation at the prestigious Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians Conference in June 2017!

​This conference is the largest emergency medicine conference in Canada and is an excellent venue to discuss the prevalence of high-altitude emergencies in the Himalayas. By raising more awareness regarding this issue we can decrease AMS rates in the region and help decrease needless suffering and death.

Join the ATMA team on Mar 30, 2017, for a Pub Night Fundraiser for the ATMA-LIP Mobile Health Clinics Project. It'll be hosted by Hemingway's Public House in White Rock and tickets are selling for $25 which includes a meal and drink! All proceeds will go towards providing healthcare and education to the people of rural Ladakh in northern India. 

Interested in coming? Then get your tickets soon as we only have a limited quantity to sell. You can either meet the board of directors in person to pick them up or make a donation online via the Donate button, leaving your name and mentioning the pub night in the comment box upon donation. We'll then hold the ticket for you to pick up on the day. 

We hope you can make it out for a great evening of food, fun and networking!
