New Emergency Medicine Docs Participate In Joint Exercise

JOINT BASE SAN ANTIONIO, Texas - Doctors at Brooke Medical Center recognize the importance of training new emergency medicine physicians to meet the challenging situations they see in the field. BAMC conducts an annual joint emergency medicine exercise to ensure they are prepared.

"Newly graduated local doctors are exposed to how health care is delivered in the best setting - the hospital," said Allen. "Taking an important step in how to apply concepts and methods of patient care from the hospital environment to the pre-hospital, complex environment should not be a journey of discovery or trial and error."

"We have a valuable pool of combat medic experience in our seniors and new retirees here in San Antonio, who can help shorten the learning curve for these new students," he said. add. "That, in turn, can translate into saving the lives of new Soldiers, Airmen and Marines."
