JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (August 20, 2019) – Hospitalman Tai-jahn Berry, a sailor participating in Navy Medicine’s Hospital Corpsman Trauma Training, inserts intravenous tubing at UF Health Jacksonville 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). Berry, a native of Jonesboro, Georgia, has orders to 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines in Kaneohe, Hawaii. “This training is outstanding. These are real patients, so it forces you out of your comfort zone and helps you become proficient in necessary skills while under pressure.” 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.
