What an incredible honor to testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee (https://lnkd.in/ebKqaa9b) with senior leaders Douglas Robb, DO, MPH and Paul Friedrichs on the urgent need to shore up military medical readiness with combat casualty care at its core. Our recent track record of medical supremacy on the battlefield demonstrates that we know what "right" looks like. But we are actively falling into the "peacetime effect" trap. We must fully resource and support our top-tier military treatment facilities as hubs for trauma and burn readiness and force generation. Collaborating with civilian partners is key to bring trauma and burn training up to scale, to ensure bi-directional exchange of best practices, and to provide priceless mentorship for our military trauma team members from all disciplines including advanced practice and allied health. By prioritizing combat casualty research, our innovation engine will keep us ahead of pacing medical threats. All of these efforts should align in a whole of society effort to re-vitalize the atrophied NDMS into a robust National Trauma and Emergency Preparedness System.

WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE OF THESE WIN-WIN EFFORTS Kudos to those in the Colorado Springs MHS and VA systems for collaborating and improving readiness opportunities while expanding patient care options. These types of programs, along with MIL-CIV partnerships, will ensure that medical teams going downrange can sustain currency in their specialties. What needs to happen to create conditions where these collaborations are more widespread nationwide? Thoughts?...
