Graduate Certificate
We are a diverse group of health professionals with extensive experience in working in remote and extreme environments - from aeromedical retrieval and helicopter rescue to endurance race medical support and solo medical practice in Antarctica, and from running charitable clinics in the Himalayas and providing medical support at the Olympics to coaching extreme sport athletes and advising the Australian Space Agency. We come together to provide educational programs in this exciting and rapidly evolving area of healthcare and to share our passion and experiences with you.
Below you will find information on our Graduate Certificate, Diploma and Masters program. These higher award programs are designed for doctors, nurses and paramedics. The program is taught through a combination of online only unit, blended units (online and short face to face residentials) and practical units that are delivered through 8 day intensive residential course held in Tasmania.
We do, however, offer a range of educational options that are applicable to a much wider range of people. Visit our ever expanding offering of MOOCs and online courses, and browse the range of short courses.
