Abstract
Abstract : The military services are responsible to recruit, train, equip and sustain their forces. For decades the Department of Defense (DOD) has received pressure to consolidate medical departments and therefore, DOD reciprocates that challenge to the uniformed services to create a single medical command. The Army, Navy and Air Force have always justified separate medical branches, by staunchly stating that war-time requirements demand unique medical skill sets for Soldiers, Seamen and Airmen. However, current combat environments have blurred the lines between distinctions of medical care. Medics and physicians from all military services work side by side to save lives and return warriors to duty. The Military Health System (MHS) is responsible for health care delivery in military hospitals and routinely use joint services health care providers. In 2005, Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) established that, all military medical training sites for enlisted members will consolidate at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Now is the perfect time to design, create, resource and mandate real JOINT medical training for our enlisted members. Military medical education can embrace process efficiencies to establish effective and realistic joint medical training.
