Jättebra kurs! Rekommenderar starkt att gå den även om man inte tänkt arbeta som expeditionsläkare då man får med sig mycket som är användbart både i ens kliniska arbete eller på semestern med vännerna!

Inspirerande kurs med bra föreläsningar om höghöjdsmedicin och det akuta omhändertagandet i vildmarken, därtill givande scenarioövningar med figuranter ute i skogen.
