Boundary-Pushing Workshops: From Dentistry to a Mini-MedWAR

Embark on a simulated wilderness adventure race where participants will be tasked with responding to four outdoor extreme medical scenarios. Replicating the austere and stressful nature of an extreme rescue where resources are limited so participants can test and improve their skills. 

Gain confidence in diagnosing and managing eye conditions in the wilderness and hospital. We’ll discuss general and environment-specific conditions, kit preparation, and assessment skills for austere settings. Build a solid foundation for dealing with eye emergencies in any setting.

Gain critical skills in improvising medical solutions in resource-limited settings. Learn how to make do with limited supplies, adapt to challenging situations, and provide life-saving care when traditional resources are scarce. 

Discover the power of ultrasound in extreme and austere environments. This workshop provides hands-on training in point-of-care ultrasound techniques for rapid diagnosis and monitoring of medical conditions in challenging settings. 

Delve into topics such as family planning, reproductive rights, gender-based violence, and post-conflict care. Participants will gain valuable insights and practical skills to address the specific healthcare needs of populations affected by crises. 

Master the art of wound care and learn advanced techniques for dressing and managing complex wounds in extreme environments. 

Delve into the intricate process of investigating and managing outbreaks in humanitarian settings. This workshop covers the skills to conduct rapid assessments, implement effective surveillance systems, and coordinate response efforts in the face of infectious disease outbreaks. 

The Marathon and Endurance Medicine Workshop equips medical students and professionals with the knowledge and skills to handle medical emergencies during endurance events. Through lectures and hands-on simulations, participants learn to recognise and treat exertional heat stroke, exercise-associated hyponatremia, and other conditions that can arise.
