The international faculty is highly experienced and uniquely qualified to present the chosen topics. The curriculum will provide a thorough, evidenced-based foundation in the core concepts of diving and hyperbaric medicine including:
- An introduction to the physics of diving, the diagnosis and treatment of common diving-related medical disorders such as DCS, barotrauma and injuries from marine animals
- A mechanistic approach to hyperbaric oxygen indications and treatment
- A review of the strategies used by physicians to determine fitness to dive for recreational diving candidates
In addition, this course will go beyond the usual dive medicine topics to discuss challenges to human physiology posed by venturing into in austere environments including:
- Diving at altitude and in polar conditions
- Diving to extremes of depth and time exposure
- Diving and other medical emergencies encountered under combat conditions
Attendees can also participate in DAN diving research through both Project Dive Exploration and ongoing research on Eustachian tube function.
