JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 12, 2019) – Hospitalman Matthew Maxwell simulates patient movement in a trauma center environment on Feb. 12, as part of a hospital corpsman trauma training program at Naval Hospital Jacksonville. Sixteen hospital corpsmen from across the Navy receive two weeks of training at NH Jacksonville (including various simulation labs and a Tactical Combat Casualty Care course). This is followed by five weeks at University of Florida Health Jacksonville (a Level 1 trauma center), with rotations in the emergency department, trauma resuscitation, intensive care unit, rapid response team, and wound management. The corpsmen, who already served one tour at a military treatment facility, are then assigned to operational units (like ships, aviation squadrons, and Marine units) across the globe. The clinical rotations provide enhanced real-world trauma experience for Navy hospital corpsmen, who provide life-saving care to sailors and Marines in the field. Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Jacksonville (co-located with NH Jacksonville) ensures warfighters’ medical readiness to deploy and clinicians’ readiness to save lives.
