More Information
Why now?
Over the past ten years the care of casualties has significantly improved. Often this has been driven forward by conflict, the exponential rise in natural disasters and our capacity to respond on an international scale. All of this concomitant with a growing interest in remote and expedition medicine has triggered the need for an extreme medicine conference.
Who is it for?
Developed specifically with medical professionals in mind, the International World Extreme Medicine Conference and EXPO will also be of interest to other medical specialists (nurses and paramedics) and as well as for university medical students - all with discounted rates.
Wilderness Medicine Student Societies
Specially discounted rates are available for accredited members of WMS societies and groups of medical students booking as a group. For more details please contact Dr Nick Knight, Expedition & Wilderness Medicines University Liaison.
