He has treated bear bite in the Arctic and frostbite in the Antarctic. He has set fractures in the Andes and cared for out-of-breath scuba divers in the Galapagos. He has performed surgery in the mud of the Amazon rainforest and in a NASA undersea analogue space capsule. He has flown in zero gravity aboard NASA’s DC-9 "Vomit Comet", testing robots for eventual use in emergency surgery on the International Space Station or on Mars.He has been on six expeditions to Mount Everest as expedition doctor and climber; four were with the National Geographic Society deploying laser telescopes and global positioning satellite receivers to measure the exact height of Everest as well as the tectonic motion of the Asian continental plate. On two other expeditions to Everest, he served as Chief High Altitude Physician for NASA-sponsored research on human physiological responses to extreme altitude, and monitored remote body sensors worn by climbers to provide real-time medical data as they ascended the mountain. Dr. Kamler himself has climbed to within 900 vertical feet of the summit of Everest and claims to have been the only doctor, high on the mountain, during the infamous 1996 storm that claimed twelve lives. His treatment of the survivors was portrayed in the best selling book, Into Thin Air, and in the IMAX film, Everest.Dr. Kamler has made four trips to Bhutan. Working with the Minister of Health, he has trekked through the remote eastern region to assess health care needs and in 2008 witnessed the coronation of the new King, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. He has acted as expedition doctor during a high altitude research expedition climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with USARIEM, a research division of the United States Army.Dr. Kamler was Vice President of Research and Education for The Explorers Club for ten years, former Chairman of its Science Advisory Board, served as a Director for twelve years and was recently re-elected to that role.
