    Kavan Paul oversees the Holistic Health and Fitness exhibit booth as part of the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity’s display during the Military Health System Research Symposium, Kissimmee, Florida, Aug. 16, 2023. Paul, son of U.S. Army Col. Johnny and Lt. Col. Dawn Paul, attended MHSRS as an internship opportunity before beginning his freshman year at the University of Central Florida College of Engineering and Computer Science. “I’ve learned a lot about the military health system community and it’s really tight-knit, I think,” said Kavan, who is entering his first year of college focusing on cybersecurity. “And that’s great because there’s really a sense of community and professionalism between all the organizations here. MHSRS makes me more well-rounded, and it provides me personal experience from professionals. They’ve dedicated their life to this work and it’s just amazing to see the talent and the passion from them and to have that understanding before I even start a career is amazing and I can spread that to other students in my institution.” As the premier developer of world-class military medical capabilities, USAMMDA is responsible for developing and delivering critical drugs, vaccines, biologics, devices, and medical support equipment to protect and preserve the lives of Warfighters across the globe. MHSRS is the Department of Defense’s foremost scientific meeting and provides a venue for presenting new scientific knowledge resulting from military research and development and focusing specifically on the unique medical needs of the U.S. Warfighter.
