High-level CPD — emergency medicine, prehospital care, human factors — delivered where the world runs out of map. Antarctica, the Arctic, remote archipelagos.
OffChartCPD runs continuing professional development programmes for senior clinicians across the acute and frontline spectrum — emergency medicine, anaesthesia, intensive care, rural and remote practice, and prehospital care. The curriculum covers the clinical and non-technical topics you'd expect from any high-quality CPD programme.
The difference is where it happens. We run CPD aboard a vessel threading between Antarctic icebergs. In a lodge beside the Lyngen fjord. On a liveaboard in the Coral Triangle. The setting doesn't change the learning — it deepens it.
The hours still count. But if that's all this is, we've missed the point. Genuine clinical growth happens when you're uncomfortable, invested, and somewhere that demands your full attention.
Small cohorts. Expert faculty. Locations that demand your full presence.
Human factors, leadership and systems thinking sit at the core of every programme — skills that translate directly to any clinical environment, regardless of resources. We build in prehospital care, resuscitation and acute medicine around the expedition programme. The same material that matters in your department on Monday morning.
Expeditions take small groups drawn from across the acute spectrum. A multidisciplinary mix of emergency medicine, paramedicine, rural GP and nursing generates better peer learning than a single-specialty group.
All programmes are designed to meet ACEM, ACRRM, ANZCA, CICM and equivalent CPD requirements from other specialist colleges, including paramedicine and nursing. Attendance documentation and reflective records are provided as standard. International participants are encouraged to verify acceptance with their own college or certifying body.
Programmes are led by frontline specialist clinicians with active backgrounds in emergency medicine, prehospital care and expeditions. People who understand both the medicine and the terrain.


Seven days of lodge-based heliskiing in some of the most dramatic mountain terrain on earth. Unlimited vertical, vast untracked descents and glaciated peaks. Snowcat backup when the weather closes in. CPD sessions each evening — education as ambitious as the terrain outside. ACRRM CPD accredited (2026–2028).

Nine days ski touring in one of Central Asia's most spectacular and unspoiled mountain environments. Based in the Jyrgalan Valley in the Tian Shan mountains, guided by an IFMGA certified mountain guide across terrain that few clinicians — and few skiers — will ever see. Evening CPD sessions, morning skinning, untracked snow in between.

Fly the Drake Passage, then board a vessel threading through pack ice and between glaciated peaks. Days ski mountaineering on the peninsula, evenings below decks with case reviews and a whisky. The most remote classroom on earth.

Ski touring in the dramatic landscapes of the Chilean Andes, including descents off active volcanoes, with CPD built around human factors, leadership and team-based decision-making. September conditions deliver reliable snow and stable high-pressure windows, with a change-of-pace day for local hot springs and a nearby vineyard — an ideal setting for combining technical mountain travel with high-level CPD.

Liveaboard diving through Komodo National Park — manta rays, drift dives through channels, reef sharks and some of the most biodiverse waters on earth. CPD sessions on deck as the islands fade into the evening. Extraordinary above and below the surface.
View trip details →Each expedition delivers a structured, multi-modal CPD programme designed to meet Australian specialist CPD requirements. You leave with complete documentation — not just memories.
Structured presentation and discussion of complex cases. Reflective learning with expert facilitation.
CRM-based simulation scenarios and debriefs. Non-technical skills in high-stakes environments.
Critical appraisal of current literature. Evidence-based practice discussion across specialties.
Peer-led educational presentations. Preparation and delivery of structured teaching sessions.
Structured observation and feedback during simulation and clinical scenarios. Honest peer assessment in a supportive expedition environment.
System-level perspectives on prehospital care, retrieval medicine and the management of time-critical patients across diverse environments.
Resuscitation, critical care, and time-critical presentations relevant to ED and prehospital practice.
Facilitated personal development planning. Synthesis and documentation for annual appraisal.
OffChartCPD is built for clinicians across the acute and frontline spectrum — anyone who regularly makes high-stakes decisions, works in resource-limited environments, or manages undifferentiated sick patients. The cohort diversity is intentional: a rural GP, a retrieval paramedic, an ICU consultant and an ED nurse bring different lenses to the same clinical problems. That tension is where the best learning happens.
The clinical content pitches at a senior level. The physical activities pitch at capable recreational — you don't need to be an elite athlete, but you should be comfortable in the environments we travel to. Pricing reflects the genuine cost of running small expeditions in challenging places.
