Outback Wilderness Response – Austere Medicine Course (2 Days)
Wilderness | Rescue | Medicine
This 2-day immersive field course is designed for clinicians operating in remote, wilderness, and resource-limited settings, with a focus on practical skills, environmental challenges, and critical decision-making under pressure. Set deep in the rugged Larapinta Trail region of Central Australia, the course blends theory with hands-on scenarios in canyons, gorges, rivers, and ridgelines—where evacuation is delayed, resources are limited, and clinical judgement matters most.
