Return to the tropics

Following the success of the inaugural Tropical Emergency Medics (TEM) Connect conference in 2024, TEM Connect returns in 2026 with an expanded program and a renewed focus on high-value, context-specific education for clinicians working in emergency medicine in the tropics.

TEM Connect brings together emergency clinicians working across North Queensland to share knowledge, strengthen skills, and build community in one of the most unique emergency medicine environments in the world.

Delivered as an immersive one-day conference, TEM Connect focuses on the realities of practising emergency medicine in tropical, rural, and resource-variable settings.
