The awardee, Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), supports this five year military-civilian partnership for trauma readiness project to assist in the medical training of a military trauma team at a high-acuity trauma center. The goal of this project is to support key personnel and reinforce the existing infrastructure within the VUMC Military-Civilian (Mil-Civ) Partnership while providing an opportunity to expand combat casualty care-relevant educational and research efforts beyond those participating in the partnership. The objectives are: 1) train members of a forward surgical team, both embedded and short term rotators, in combat casualty care-relevant high acuity trauma; 2) establish the infrastructure to support military medical training at a high volume trauma center; 3) function as a force multiplier, facilitating members of the Mil-Civ partnership to be leaders in trauma education within the local community and Fort Campbell, KY; 4) monitor and report medical provider ICTL and KSA metrics to assess the quality of the clinical experience; 5) disseminate project information. The expected outcomes of this project are: 1) military medical providers at VUMC will be ready to perform superior expeditionary medicine as demonstrated by greatly exceeding their respective ICTL and KSA requirements; 2) short term clinical rotators and medical providers at Fort Campbell will have their expeditionary medical readiness improved through education events and courses as measured by ICTL completion rates. The products from this project are: 1) a final report, including ICTL and KSA metrics for all personnel participating in the partnership and 2) abstracts for national conferences and peer-reviewed publications demonstrating the benefits of Mil-Civ partnerships.
