We’ve added 10 half priced medical student places for Expedition Medicine and Field Skills in Chamonix 17-21 June. That’s a saving of £275 tuition only. This intensive 5-day course combines wilderness medicine with learning many field skills needed to work in diverse environments including the mountains and jungle. Taught by a seasoned teaching team of leading expedition doctors and mountain professionals, the broad lecture programme with problem solving/planning exercises and case studies is dove-tailed with outdoor training sessions; the highlight of which is an overnight high mountain camp. All grades of medics attend. Earn 30 CPD hours and MSc credits. Easy access to Chamonix from Geneva airport. Optional glacier expedition after the course. Share accommodation with other delegates via WMT’s Facebook. Accommodation, travel and meals are not included. “A fun-filled, inspiring big kids holiday with enough medical theory to stimulate our brains.”
Later in July we’re running a special med-student only 7-day Expedition Skills course near Windermere, Lake District 22-28 July. Expedition Skills is a unique camping based multi-disciplinary 7-day programme for medical students delivered by WMT and Wild Human at a stunning, lake-side camp in the Lake District, England. See the drone video below! You’ll learn a solid set of expedition-proven skills ranging from bushcraft and expedition preparation to bush mechanic training, personal security and GPS navigation and concluding with wilderness medicine training that is largely scenario based. The course is delivered by the UK’s leading training providers in these respective fields. No previous camping or expedition experience is required. It’s an immersive, detailed and fun camping based experience.
