The Military Health History: An Educational Initiative to Improve Veteran Healthcare
CONCLUSION: The lecture resulted in a statistically significant increase over 6 months in both the likelihood and confidence parameters. The team believes that this result indicates that the students demonstrated useful retention of the lecture material. Our hope is that these students continue to employ the military health history throughout their years of clinical work. In the future, we plan to survey veterans immediately following Veterans Health Administration clinic visits with members of our study population to assess the patient's perceived benefit of the military health history. The team will continue to investiga...

Development of Ventral Hernia Repair Curriculum Using the AWSSOM-a Synthetic Abdominal Wall Surgical Skills Operational Model
CONCLUSIONS: The novel abdominal wall surgical skills operative model fills an important proof of concept gap in simulation training. It is low cost with the potential to improve cognitive and psychomotor skills, as well as confidence to competently complete ventral hernia repair with mesh in the graduate medical education setting. Prior to formal effectiveness testing, our lessons learned should be addressed in both the model and curriculum. Future studies must include an adequately powered statistical evaluation with a larger sample across all levels of training.PMID:38195202 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usad496 (Source: Military Medicine)

Ukrainian Healthcare Professionals' Experiences During Operation Gunpowder: Implications for Increasing and Enhancing Training Partnerships
Mil Med. 2024 Jan 2:usad484. doi: 10.1093/milmed/usad484. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBecause of the diverse backgrounds of their healthcare professionals, Ukrainian military medicine needs expanded and enhanced military medical training to increase their readiness in the war against Russia. During March 2023, eight Ukrainian healthcare professionals participated in Operation Gunpowder, a high-fidelity prolonged casualty care simulation conducted by the USU as a part of its Military Unique Curriculum. In order to evaluate their experiences, we interviewed each healthcare professional and analyzed the data to determine co...

The Empire Strikes Back: A Chemical Warfare Burn 100 Years after the First World War Ending
Mil Med. 2023 Dec 29:usad497. doi: 10.1093/milmed/usad497. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDuring the First World War, the territories that constituted the front line in North East Italy were the theaters of intense shelling. The military tactics of the time involved the use not only of conventional ammunition but also of special ammunition containing asphyxiating and blistering compounds. However, the technology of the time did not guarantee a high explosion rate, leaving a considerable quantity of unexploded material on the ground. Although more than 100 years have passed since the end of the Great War, it is still common ...
