JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (August 20, 2019) – Kaleb Culpepper (left), a physician at UF Health Jacksonville, speaks to sailors participating in Navy Medicine’s Hospital Corpsman Trauma Training on Aug. 20. 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). Hospitalman Jayson Borromeo (center), a native of Oakland, California, will be assigned to 1st Marine Aircraft Wing in Iwakuni, Japan. “The HMTT course is great because it sharpens my skills. My confidence as a hospital corpsman is much greater now and I feel more prepared going to my next duty station.” 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.
