New Age Training

In a recent U.S. Army press release, an outline of the modern day combat medic training program was given. Only in recent years has the military recognized the need for more advanced training in prehospital care for their healthcare providers in the field. During the cold-war era, a majority of the healthcare providers worked in hospitals alongside doctors and nurses, and generally were non-combatants. Given that enemy fighters will take any chance they get to take out a medic, knowing that they are a vital asset to any force, the need for the newly termed "combat medic" was needed. In this revamped course, brand new soldiers are being trained to act as a soldier first, medic second. Once you can assure your safety and the safety of your patient, only then can you administer care. With the most modern technology, these trainees have access to life-like manikins to make the procedures as real as possible. Trainees are also put through rigorous, real-life scenarios to simulate an active warzone where the medics must clear the area of enemy combatants before tending to patients. This cutting edge training, along with state-of-the-art technology, will lead to more soldiers being saved out in the field.
