From Antarctica to Tonga: Faye Lee on Conservation Medicine in Namibia

Note: We apologise for any varying audio quality in this episode. As Faye joined us from Tonga with breaching whales in the background (how cool is that?!), there are some moments where the sound fluctuates.

We believe the incredible content and unique perspective from (literally) the other side of the world was worth preserving, even if the audio isn't perfect.

Thanks for understanding - sometimes catching our guests between adventures means working with what we've got!

Join Sarah Spelsberg as she interviews emergency physician and global adventurer Faye Lee about the World Extreme Medicine Conservation Medicine Course in Namibia.

From darting lions for health checks to working in resource-limited clinics, Faye shares her incredible experiences at N/a’an ku sê.

Discover how this unique course combines wildlife conservation, community healthcare, and the management of human-wildlife conflicts in one of Africa's most fascinating countries.

Learn about snake bite management, wildlife rehabilitation, and how local communities work together to protect both people and animals. Faye also shares inspiring insights about giving back to communities worldwide and seizing unconventional opportunities in medicine.

Want to experience this yourself?

The WEM Conservation Medicine Course offers hands-on experience with wildlife medicine, remote clinic work, and conservation efforts. Join us in Namibia for an unforgettable week that will change your perspective on medicine and conservation forever.
