Abstract
AbstractWorking in mountainous terrain, often at high altitude, presents a unique set of challenges to military medical personnel both in deployed roles and on adventurous training expeditions. Courses such as the increasingly popular Diploma in Mountain Medicine can provide clinicians with the knowledge and skills required to work in this environment. This article describes the current provision of mountain medicine education in the United Kingdom (UK). It also details the United States Military Mountain Medicine course as an example of military specific mountain medicine training and its relevance to UK armed forces medical personnel.
