JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (August 23, 2019) – Hospitalman Brandon Labry, a sailor participating in Navy Medicine’s Hospital Corpsman Trauma Training, flushes a nasogastric tube at UF Health Jacksonville on Aug. 23. Sixteen hospital corpsmen from across the Navy received two weeks of specialized training at Naval Hospital Jacksonville, followed by five weeks at UF Health Jacksonville (a Level I trauma center). Labry, a native of Gustine, California, will be assigned to 1st Battalion, 3rd Marines in Kaneohe, Hawaii. “The UF Health staff and Navy preceptors were amazing, by teaching us new techniques that will help us in our near future. This course has helped me become 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.
