WHAT IS EXPEDITION MEDICINE?
Rugged terrains of mountains, dense jungles, expansive deserts, or the boundless sea – these are the arenas where expedition medicine takes centre stage. It involves the comprehensive physical and psychological care of expedition participants before, during, and after their adventurous journeys. In these remote environments, where medical facilities are scarce, we step in. Through our courses, we equip you with the essential skills to serve as a medic in these challenging locations.
