For the first time in six years, a team of Malmstrom medics went toe-to-toe against 16 other competing teams during this year’s iteration of Medic Rodeo at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico, Aug. 21-25, 2023.
The competitors were faced with a variety of challenging scenarios in which they had to treat patients with injuries and illnesses like compound fractures, traumatic amputations, femoral artery bleeds, collapsed lungs, closed head trauma, massive blood loss, compromised airways, impaled object and third-degree burns.
Medic Rodeo, an annual medical competition, creates a ready medical force through practical training as it provides a platform for medics across the Air Force to train and test for proficiency in new and emerging threats.
