Train Hard, Fight Easy. The Benefits of In-situ Wilderness Training with Will Duffin

This blog post, written by Dr Will Duffin, addresses the benefits
of in-situ wilderness simulation training for medical
professionals working in remote environments.


Written by Dr. Will Duffin, this blog post unpacks his
experience providing medical cover for the TV show Survivor
to illustrate how practicing emergency scenarios on-site helps
teams improve emergency management skills, foster team
bonding, and 'battle test' equipment and
processes before real incidents occur. The article
explicitly links this training methodology to the World
Extreme Medicine organisation, highlighting their range
of specialised medical courses and academic
programs focused on various extreme and remote settings like
polar, space, and ocean medicine.


Ultimately, the blog is an informative piece advocating for
low-stakes, context-specific simulation training while
simultaneously serving as a promotional tool for the
organisation's educational offerings and conferences. You can
