Expedition Medics Required - for three-month voluntary placements on conservation diving projects worldwide. Locations include Philippines and Tobago. Candidates must be a minimum of one-year post registration with A&E experience
Coral Cay Conservation (CCC) is an award winning international conservation group,
operating in the Philippines and Tobago. The company was formed in 1986 and is a non-profit
making organisation. Eight marine nature reserves have been established internationally by
CCC, and the company made a very significant contribution to the Belize Barrier Reef being
designated a world heritage site.
Applicants need not have a scientific background as on-site training is provided in
coral and fish identification as well as survey techniques during the first week. The
minimum requirement is "Novice Diver".
Qualifications and Experience
Applicants are interviewed soon after applying and their suitability assessed on an
individual basis. Each expedition needs a qualified medical officer (MO) with a recognised
nursing qualification or a Doctorate in medicine, with a minimum age of 21.
The MO's role is to advise the Expedition Leader on all medical aspects and to care
for all minor medical requirements on the island, involving members of the CCC expedition.
Although the MO will be called on to attend medical problems, their primary task is diving
and surveying. The majority of treatment will be for cuts and minor infections. No further
qualifications are required although applicants need to have a reasonable level of fitness
and must be capable of living in remote, isolated conditions.
How to Apply
Expeditions continue on a monthly basis each year and Medical Officers are required for
each expedition phase. For details of staff selection/job role please go to
