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. Integral to the course is immersion-based experiential learning to include reality training, surgical simulation, information sessions, and skills development for briefing of relevant military medical information. Medical Corps Officer military obligations, leadership, discipline, harsh military environments, field exercises, disaster stabilization, evacuation, triage, and management in combat environments on land, sea, and air are the foundation of the elective. This course will also 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.
