Your medical skills can take you to some of the most exciting places on the planet.  Adventure Medicine has ongoing involvement with some of Australia's leading trekking companies.  Through them, we can provide opportunities to extend your medical skills in remote locations.  If you are interested in the role of expedition doctor, wilderness medicine or are looking for a new challenge, contact Adventure Medicine and tell us about your goals.

We are often contacted by medical students looking for elective opportunities.  There are many opportunities worldwide, such as:

hospital attachments or mission trips in Africa:

It may also be possible to shadow the expedition doctor with a company such as www.executiveexcellence.com.au, but this is likely to be more expensive. 

For those of you interested in research or the academic side of this exciting field, we recommend you visit the Wilderness Medicine Society.
