Inspiration with Manda J: Extreme Expedition Medicine

Season 1, Episode 314,   Jan 11, 2021, 12:00 PM

Following completion of Medical School in 2009,Dr. Systermans focused the initial years of his career on surgical training. In 2015, he embarked on a career change and switched focus to Emergency Medicine with a special interest in expedition medicine and humanitarian work. Dr. Systermans spent the early part of 2015 locuming in various remote emergency departments in Australia before volunteering his services as a doctor on a 1400km charity cycle tour that raised over $4.5m (Tour De Cure). Following that, he deployed with the Australian Army on a humanitarian aid mission in Central Australia. 

Find out what Dr. Brenton Systermans is up to now as he heads on a new journey as an Expedition Medical Practioner with the Australian Antarctic Division.

Dr. Systermans is very involved in humanitarian work and the two funds that he is trying to raise money for at the moment are:

1. Buying new gear for our local Nepali clinic staff. I'm hoping to raise enough funds to buy new boots, packs and down jackets. The link for this with more information is:

2. The other fund was set up following the premature and untimely death of our  CEO Prakash Adhikari who passed away from COVID a few months ago. His son, Binamra had recently been admitted to medical school so we are raising funds for his education. Binamra is committed to returning to the mountains to provide care for the mountain population of remote areas of Nepal. Further details are in the GoFundMe blog, but I will send you another email with a bit more of a background.
