OVERVIEW
XII World Congress On Mountain Medicine is organized by International Society for Mountain Medicine (ISMM), Himalayan Rescue Association (HRA) Nepal, Eurac Research, Mountain Medicine Society of Nepal (MMSN) and will be held from Nov 21 - 24, 2018 at Hotel Yak and Yeti, Kathmandu, Madhyamanchal, Nepal. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 24 European CME credits.
Course Description:
The biennial congress will continue to focus on high altitude medicine which is an important flagship of the International Society for Mountain Medicine. While originally this event focused mainly on science and research aspects of high altitude medicine, for some years now the congress objectives have extended. ISMM aims to offer a comprehensive overview of ongoing topics of interest in mountain medicine, whilst also extending the program by adding a dedicated mountain emergency medicine component (in collaboration with the International Commission of Mountain Emergency Medicine ICAR MEDCOM and the Wilderness Medical Society WMS).This renewed program will also include practical workshops related to trekking, expedition medicine, and clinical education. In the last few years, enrolment in Mountain Medicine Diploma courses has shot up internationally, and the faculty feels there is a need for better unification, coordination and quality management.the congress will be held in Kathmandu, hosted by an active group of young physicians gathered in the Mountain Medicine Society of Nepal.
The program includes many aspects of mountain medicine, from science through to expedition medicine. It gives the attendants the opportunity to combine this unique congress with a journey to the highest peaks of the planet, to a land of miraculous peoples, cultures and landscapes.
