HIGH-ALTITUDE MEDICINE

The High-Altitude Medicine Course was created to help advanced medical practitioners understand the complexity of caring for patients and themselves in a high-altitude environment. Keeping yourself cognitively aware can be a challenge in these situations, and this course will provide you with the hands-on tools to improve your patient and your outcome in these harsh conditions. This is a very hands-on course. For example, you will get to use a Gamow Bag, instead of just reading about it in a book. The course material was developed using best practices and evidence from high-altitude medicine.
