Extreme Medicine Certificate

The Extreme Medicine Certificate at the University of Lynchburg is built for clinicians who thrive in challenging environments—from remote jungles to disaster zones to outer space. 

Modern medicine doesn’t stop where the road ends. Explore the limits of human physiology, survival strategies for austere conditions, and how to lead medical responses in the most extreme circumstances imaginable.

This program empowers you to deliver critical care where others can’t. You’ll dive into the realities of providing advanced medical care without the support of traditional infrastructure, learning how to adapt clinical knowledge to unpredictable, resource-limited, and hazardous environments. 

With this certificate you can build the confidence and capabilities to think clearly, act decisively, and lead effectively when lives are on the line.

This certificate is available through the University of Lynchburg Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc) or Doctor of Executive Leadership (DEL) programs. It serves as an excellent introduction to these doctoral programs or can complement and expand your current or previous doctoral studies.
