Extreme Cold Medic Expedition Training — Swedish Arctic Circle

A 7-day intensive program designed for medical and expedition personnel operating in polar or sub-zero environments. This course provides practical, field-tested skills for casualty care, cold-weather risk management, and safe travel in the Arctic.

Overview
Training takes place deep within the Swedish Arctic Circle, where temperatures, terrain, and isolation create a realistic platform for learning. Participants receive structured instruction and daily scenario-based exercises focused on medical response, hypothermia prevention, and decision-making in severe cold.

Key Skills Developed

• Primary and secondary assessments in freezing conditions
• Management of hypothermia, frostbite, cold diuresis, and non-freezing cold injuries
• Trauma care and bleeding control with cold-impaired dexterity
• Safe movement over snow and ice, including hazard identification
• Cold-weather campcraft, shelter construction, and stove/heating safety
• Layering systems, moisture management, and survival strategies
• Risk assessment, navigation, and emergency planning in low-visibility environments
• Patient packaging, insulated litter preparation, and cold-environment evacuation principles

Training Environment
Participants train in authentic Arctic conditions with minimal infrastructure, learning to manage patients while contending with cold-induced fatigue, equipment challenges, and environmental stressors. Scenarios are designed to mirror real expedition demands.

Who It’s For

• Expedition guides and leaders operating in polar regions
• Emergency responders preparing for extreme cold deployments
• Professionals involved in scientific fieldwork, remote logistics, or winter search and rescue
• Individuals seeking advanced cold-weather medical and operational skills

Outcome
Graduates complete the program with specialized cold-environment medical competence and increased confidence in leading safe, well-managed expeditions in the Arctic.
