Course Objectives The purpose of the Expedition Medicine National Conference is to educate medical professionals regarding principles of working in foreign countries, extreme environments, and remote locations. Experts have been selected to cover the course material. The experts selected not only have impeccable academic credentials, but also vast experience in their chosen fields.

Who Should AttendMedical professionals who venture into remote locations and/or the medical professional advising patients who plan to go to, or have just visited, a remote destination. Physicians are the primary target but paramedics, nurses, and mid-level providers will also be in attendance.

Expedition Medicine National Conference FacultyThe ExpedMed faculty are carefully selected based on their impeccable academic credentials, vast field experience and teaching ability. Each speaker engages attendees with compelling real-life stories and brings a depth of knowledge unprecedented at other conferences. They have been drawn from such prestigious medical institutions as the Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins University, Stanford University, the Walter Reed Research Institute, and Oxford University. They continue to be active in their diverse fields of Expedition and Wilderness Medicine and, consequently, bring their passion and enthusiasm for the subject to life.
