Physicians wanted for adventurous CME. Bitter cold. Constant danger.
Safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success.

ExpedMed Polar Bear Adventure

A Polar Bear Adventure for CME Credit

October 16 - 20th, 2011

ExpedMed has partnered with Frontiers North Adventures to provide an amazing opportunity to earn CME while you experience polar bears up close and personal, in the Arctic.

The most rewarding way to experience the polar bears of Churchill is to immerse yourself in their environment; from the moment you wake up, throughout the day and into the endless winter nights. The best way to accomplish this is a stay at Tundra Buggy's world famous Tundra Buggy Lodge. Although it's mobile, each fall for the last 20+ years the Lodge has been transported out and assembled in the best location for 'round the clock' bear viewing.

FEES

Tundra Buggy Fees $3,969 CAD based on double occupancy CME Fees $899 physicians $749 military and students/residents/non-physicians $459 non-cme

Included in costs: Two pre- and one post-Churchill hotel nights in Winnipeg at the Four Points by Sheraton attached to the Winnipeg International Airport, tour of Winnipeg, round trip airfare from Winnipeg to Churchill, tour of the Churchill Health Centre, two nights at the Tundra Buggy Lodge, all meals while at the Lodge and all transfers, .25 hours of Category I CME credits (20 online and 5 live hours of CME), and two full days aboard a world famous Tundra Buggy® viewing and photographing polar bears in their natural environment.
