The ExpedMed CME Conference

As one of the world's premiere Expedition Medicine, Wilderness Medicine, and Travel Medicine education companies, we're committed to providing “best of service” CME educational opportunities for medical professionals. Our courses train participants to work in wilderness, extreme, and remote environments, or consult on patients who have returned from these locations.

Attending an ExpedMed event is a refreshing alternative to the typical CME course. Our ExpedMed CME curriculum is based on the textbook entitled Expedition and Wilderness Medicine edited by Drs. Gregory Bledsoe, Michael Manyak, and David Townes. Drawing from a wide range of wilderness medicine and expedition medicine topics — with a particular emphasis on wilderness, tropical medicine, and travel medicine — an ExpedMed CME course will provide you with the information you need on a variety of important topics, all in a concise and practical format.

What do clinicians think of ExpedMed CME courses?

“Fantastic conference. My second experience with ExpedMed. I went two years ago and was so enthusiastic about it that I told many people about it and recruited as many people as I could. The speakers who came of course were ALL EXCELLENT”
— Doreen Hung Mar, MD, Emergency Medicine
“As a US Navy Survival Instructor and Medic, most of the information will have some factor in not only my teaching of survival techniques but in planning operations and conducting medical coverage of these operations.”
— Joel Walker, MD, Military: Aerospace Physiology/Emergency Medicine
“This was the first conference I’ve attended where I’ve gone to ALL the lectures and looked forward to the next day! The speakers were great – knowledgeable, passionate about what they do, entertaining. I also like the historical info on the infectious diseases and the personal adventure stories.”
— Alexia Gordon MD
“This conference was outstanding! The quality of instructors and information is second to none. I hope to make attendance to ExpedMed a yearly happening! Loved the case studies! I love the fact that all of the presenters have experience. They’re not just talking about theories. They’ve been there, done that.”
— Julie Chase, BS, NREMT-P, Aluting Support Contractor
“This conference is taught by very professional physicians who are, in one way or another, a different breed of doctor. It has application for military audience, while limited, that are quite informative. Dr. Ling’s brief on Neuro was amazing. It’s not every day you have a brain surgeon teach you how to manage neurological injuries in language you can understand!”
— Keith Daris, San Diego, CA
“All the speakers possessed strong academic backgrounds, real life “street credentials,” and brought excitement to their presentations. Living abroad, hostile geopolitical environments, shark experts, Secret Service docs, international venoms and toxins…the Expedition Medicine conference was more than just CME credits…you leave the conference armed with applicable medical fundamentals. Through the conference, I gained a whole new respect for the United States military and their medical research. Although I have attended numerous excellent conferences in related fields, the Expedition Medicine conference was the summit!!!”
— James Adkins, MD, Anesthesiology & Travel Medicine
