MIL 5041: Military Medicine I

Military Medicine I will incorporate a series of didactic instruction for military officer training with an emphasis on the unique aspects of being a military medical officer. Medical Corps Officer military obligations, leadership, discipline, customs and courtesies, special military environments, field exercises, disaster stabilization, evacuation, triage, and management in combat environments on land, sea, and air are the foundation of the course. In addition, the course prepares students for their capstone experience of immersion-based experiential learning in a simulated operational environment.  This course will function in conjunction with COM enrichment pathway courses where synergies are evident and possible. Students may also have the opportunity to liaison with leaders, educators, and military officers at U.S. posts, bases, medical centers, hospitals, and other sites in order to achieve the goals and objectives of the program. Expert guests, military officers, and appropriate civilian physicians, and teachers will be hosted virtually and on campuses.
