Conservation Medicine focuses on the relationships between human health, animal health and the health of the environment.

The main objective of the course is to educate attendees as to how we can integrate the diagnostic and problem solving skills of both human and animal health professionals with the knowledge of conservation professionals, to ultimately better manage the environment and biodiversity to the benefit of all the inhabitants of our beautiful planet.

The emerging interdisciplinary field of conservation medicine, which integrates human and veterinary medicine and environmental sciences, is largely concerned with  zoonose. At the present time there is very little sharing knowledge in both an academic and practical session and this course serves to address this significant gap.

Developed for medical professionals and advanced medics working in hot or arid climates, the Desert & Wilderness Medicine medical training course aims to introduce participants to the skills required for working in hot, arid and sub Saharan areas, and to care for and treat injuries and illness likely to occur in this fascinating environment.

Our Desert Wilderness Medicine is based in Damaraland, an area bounded to the south by the spectacular Namib Desert, to the east by the Kalahari, Ovamboland to the North and the world famous Skeleton Coast to the west. Our training area is a stunning region close to the Doros Crater,  remote from civilisation, inhabited by an array of desert-adapted flora and fauna and with some of the most remarkable night skies in the world.

This is a 6 day medical training course based on Australia's world renowned Great Barrier Reef.

Topics covered will include pre-expedition medicals, diving-related illness, marine envenomation, emergency treatments and casevac plans. Practical sessions include boat handling, search and rescue and underwater communications. We will aim for at least 2 dives a day, including a night dive. At the end of the week, participants should feel confident to act as medical officer on a diving expedition, or in any diving medical practice.
