Welcome to KCL Wilderness Medicine!
KCL Wilderness Medicine Society is about medicine and research in places where others won’t go… That could be altitude, space, the polar regions, the jungle or disaster zones, amongst many others.
Interested in the wilderness? Then this is the society for you! And we’re not just science and medicine students by the way…
In 2010, we have heard from an A&E doctor who spent 6 months in Antarctica, along with a final year KCL medic who skied to the South Pole. An Everest summiteer has spoken, along with the patron of our society, Mr Jonathan Kaplan, a surgeon who works exclusively in war and disaster zones.
We have arranged mountain rescue weekends to the Lake District, and are arranging for members of our society to be certified in wilderness medicine.
You won’t get much exposure to wilderness medicine as part of your course, so joining our society is a perfect way to meet like-minded people and experience some of the extremes of medicine and physiology.
You get all of this for £5!
