JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (July 18, 2019) – Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Fernand Defante (right) answers instructors’ questions during Navy Medicine’s Hospital Corpsman Trauma Training program at Naval Hospital Jacksonville. 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). Defante, a native of Las Vegas, Nevada, says, “This is providing me with the tools I need to succeed in any combat trauma situation, and meet the mission at hand.” 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.
