JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (July 17, 2019) – Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class James Fukartas, a sailor participating in Navy Medicine’s Hospital Corpsman Trauma Training program, practices intravenous tubing placement on Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Madison Wilkerson. 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). Fukartas, a native of Dacula, Georgia, says, “Whether it’s on a ship, or on the battlefield, the knowledge we’re receiving is vital to mission readiness and the health of those we provide care to.” 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) delivers a ready medical force, in support of Department of Defense missions around the globe.
