JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (August 23, 2019) – Hospitaman Michael Latapie (right), a sailor participating in Navy Medicine’s Hospital Corpsman Trauma Training, checks intravenous tubing with Owen Cabo, a registered nurse 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). Latapie, a native of Palacios, Texas, will be assigned to USS Lake Erie (CG 70), homeported at San Diego, California. “This training has furthered my medical knowledge in hospital and field settings. I’ll take this knowledge to my next command and be a better corpsman because of it.” 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.
