Trip Description

Join us for an Adventure Medicine CME Surf & Yoga Retreat!
Learn how to surf on one of the best surf beaches in the world, practice yoga at one of the most world-famous yoga resort and learn skills in Adventure & Wilderness Medicine! This active trip combines skills workshops with daily yoga & surf activities. Spend a week in tropical paradise and return home refreshed and recharged!

Pristine Nature
Nosara is located in a tropical heaven of mangroves, lush vegetation, and abundant wildlife. The pristine and undeveloped coastline creates a beautiful backdrop for the amazing sunsets. On the MedTreks trip, there will be optional activities to kayak the mangroves, zip-line through the jungle, or hike to a local waterfall.

World-Class Beaches
Our home for the week is located on Playa Guiones, known for its consistent and friendly surfing conditions, 365 days a year. Silky white sand and warm crystalline waters make this a perfect surfing location for novices and advanced surfers alike. No large resorts, no high-rise buildings… just peace.

Between the warm waters, the coastal temperatures, and the sounds of nature, this place is incredibly relaxing and a perfect opportunity to spend a week focusing on restoring balance and rejuvenating your body, mind, and soul…. Expect yoga, surf, meditation, breathwork, swimming, hiking, and nutritious foods.

 
The Surfing
The surf classes are geared towards beginners but we are happy to modify any of the surf instruction to fit a more intermediate or advanced level. The beach Playa Guiones is one of the most incredible surf breaks for learning with warm waters, no rocks, white sand beach and consistent surf over 320 days a year.
 
The Yoga
Learn the basics of yoga or take your practice to the next level. We will have basic morning yoga and meditation classes with the option of taking more advanced and diverse yoga classes in the afternoon.
The Wilderness & Adventure Medicine Skills
This week is packed full with activities! Between the daily yoga and surfing, MedTreks hosts the Wilderness Medicine Courses for the AWLS Certification (Advanced Wilderness Life Support). These courses provide Category 1 CME to physicians as well as CEUs for nurses. This is a hybrid format with online courses in addition to the hands-on skills workshops.
 
Optional Medical Spanish Add-On:
One of the most valuable and important aspects of healthcare is being able to effectively communicate with your patients. With a growing number of Spanish speakers every year in the United States, learning basic medical Spanish is becoming increasingly important.
MedTreks partners with Nosara Spanish Institute to provide you with a unique condensed course in Medical Spanish. This program was co-created by a team of medical professionals and Spanish language instructors to provide the most high-yield Medical Spanish course during an 8 day stay on the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica.
Nosara…it is one of our favorite places, we look forward to sharing it with you.
Highlights:
  • Learn key phrases for conducting a patient assessment and history
  • Engage in Spanish & Global health discussions
  • Practice your Spanish language skills in a tropical setting
  • Enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Costa Rica: waterfalls, jungle, ocean
  • Spend your early mornings running on the 3-mile white sand beach in front of your hotel, practicing yoga at one of the local yoga studios, surfing the warm waters or enjoying a smoothie on the balcony of your room overlooking the pool and listening to the sound of the waves just steps away

*** This retreat is offered in conjunction with the Medical Spanish Bootcamp. Those who do want to participate in the morning Medical Spanish instruction, please visit the Medical Spanish Costa Rica page for further details.
