Prospective general medical officers (GMOs) receive instruction for removing glitter from an eye during the Simulation Training for Operational Medicine Providers (STOMP) program at the Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Portsmouth Healthcare Simulation and Bioskills Training Center, April 10 and 11, 2023. Forty prospective general medical officers (GMOs) completed the course to prepare them for independent operational practice through exercises in orthopedics, general surgery, podiatry, ophthalmology and more.
The Simulation center developed the STOMP Program in 2015 to strengthen the knowledge and skills of graduating GMOs. The program involves the ability to learn, practice and demonstrate patient care skills that will be necessary to function as an independent practitioner in an operational environment.
The simulation center provides state of the art simulation based medical training for the United States Armed Forces, as well as supporting the local medical community. Since the center’s inception in February 2006, it has trained more than 36,000 DoD and civilian health care professionals and expanded its capabilities utilizing over 50 different medical simulators. From the basic IV training arm simulators to the latest in three dimensional virtual simulations, NMCP’s health care simulation center has remained on the cutting edge of medical modeling and simulation.
