A FELLOWSHIP BUILT TO SERVE A COMMUNITY OF PROFESSIONALS COMMITTED TO MEDICINE IN THE MOST CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENTS
OUR MISSION
The Fellowship of Extreme & Wilderness Medicine (FEWM) recognises a wide range of medical and allied healthcare professionals who have accumulated significant knowledge and skill in this field of medicine. FEWM brings together a broad reach of specialties and sub-specialties including expedition, humanitarian, pre-hospital, space and military medicine. 'The fellowship also recognises the need to incorporate medical sciences and non-medical personnel whose contributions ensure the advancement of the field. The FEWM community shares a common interest which pushes the boundaries of modern medicine and nurtures a mindset capable of adapting to the most extreme environments and clinical settings. Community members will be committed to the growth and support of all members through mentorship, education experience and collective identity.'
“The Fellowship of Extreme & Wilderness Medicine is breaking new ground recognising medical excellence in austere environments. The Fellowship is a community of extreme medics, providing a network of like-minded individuals with which to share knowledge, research and adventure. This community will push the boundaries of our understanding of medical care in the world’s harshest environments ensuring the next generation of medics are even better equipped to deal with the strains and challenges of working in isolated, hostile and extreme environments.”

IS THIS FELLOWSHIP ONLY FOR DOCTORS WHO PRACTICE EXPEDITION AND WILDERNESS MEDICINE?
No! We are an inclusive community of healthcare professionals from various backgrounds (including nurses, paramedics, physios, dentists and, yes, doctors) who work in challenging or unconventional settings. Membership extends to humanitarian and disaster relief, pre-hospital care, battlefields, remote research stations, space analogues; the list is endless.
What if I’m not a ‘medic’?
