Expedition Medicine (sometimes known as expeditionary medicine) is the field of medicine focusing on providing embedded medical support to an expedition, usually in medically austere or isolated areas. Expedition medicine provides the physical and psychological wellbeing of expedition members before, during, and after an expedition.[1] Expedition medicine may be practiced in support of commercial, non-governmental organizations, and government expeditions.[2] Some medical governing bodies consider expedition medicine as a field within wilderness medicine, whilst others considered it be a separate discipline.[3][4]
