Modernizing Military Medicine to Strengthen Defense Health

The Operational Medicine Symposium is returning to San Antonio, TX, this April 12-13, 2022.

San Antonio, TX, March 09, 2022 --(PR.com)-- The DOD and MHS are adapting to and preparing for the potential for a future battlefield marked by a high-end, mass casualty fight. In order to ensure a ready medical force, and a medically ready force, we must speed up the efficiency, delivery, and effectiveness of combat casualty care, medical evacuations, and advanced field diagnostic systems.

The 2022 Operational Medicine Symposium will feature two days of plenary sessions, panel discussions and tech talks that will highlight key topics in military healthcare, including in areas of combat care, medical logistics, human performance, telemedicine, and a new panel discussion for 2022 on R&D Initiatives at the DHA’s Centers of Excellence. Hear from senior medical officials, clinicians, government leaders, and solution providers on the latest innovations and opportunities to advance the practice of medicine in expeditionary environments.
