Logo ÖGAHM Austrian Society for Alpine Medicine

The following courses conclude with the Diploma in Alpine and High Altitude Medicine. This is a fully recognized, approved continuing education diploma from the Austrian Medical Chamber.

On the initiative and in cooperation with the ÖGAHM, an ÖÄK Diploma in Alpine and High Altitude Medicine was introduced for members of the Austrian Medical Chamber.

For this diploma training, in addition to the mandatory theoretical courses at Tirol Kliniken, ISAG Hall, continuing education hours from all ÖGAHM alpine physician course formats (Alpine Sports and Medicine, International Alpine and High Altitude Medicine Courses, etc.) can be credited. The category and number of creditable teaching units are listed in the respective course programs.

Furthermore, continuing education hours from courses by other providers may also be credited, subject to approval and review by the Medical Academy.

Basic Theoretical Courses in Alpine and High Altitude Medicine

The theory modules A/B and C/D are organised by Tirol Kliniken Innsbruck and held at UMIT Tirol. The courses take place in blocks of three days each. These courses are DFP-accredited. Participation in all four modules is mandatory to obtain the Diploma in Alpine and High Altitude Medicine of the Austrian Medical Chamber.
