JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (July 17, 2019) – Hospitalman Nathalyn Rosales, a sailor participating in Navy Medicine’s Hospital Corpsman Trauma Training program, places intravenous tubing. Sixteen hospital corpsmen from across the Navy receive two weeks of specialized training at Naval Hospital Jacksonville, followed by five weeks at UF Health Jacksonville (a Level I trauma center). Rosales, a native of Kearny, New Jersey, says, “I’m going to a Navy destroyer ship next, and many sailors will count on me to provide exceptional care when needed. This life-saving course will make me a better corpsman.” The corpsmen, who have already served one tour at a military treatment facility, are then assigned to operational 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.
