World Extreme Medicine (WEM) is a global movement of medical professionals, adventurers, and humanitarian experts dedicated to pushing the boundaries of healthcare.

We specialise in delivering world-class education in extreme and remote medicine, combining rigorous academic instruction with hands-on experience in some of the world’s most challenging environments. From the classroom to the mountains, oceans, jungles and deserts, our training prepares medics for wherever their skills are needed most.

Our mission is to:

• Train medical professionals to operate effectively in austere settings, from polar regions to conflict zones
• Support communities through the WEM Fund, delivering emergency aid and expertise where it’s needed most
• Innovate by integrating clinical expertise with wilderness survival, emergency response, and global health strategies

As a certified B Corporation, we’re committed to using our business as a force for good – ensuring our impact goes far beyond training rooms, reaching people and places across the globe.
