The proposed project will directly benefit two groups of military caregivers. The first group to benefit is the Cadre, consisting of 30 United States Air Force (USAF) medical personnel permanently embedded at the RACSTC. The Cadre are active members of the UMMC staff and work alongside civilian counterparts providing care in the trauma center and other acute care settings at UMMC. The second group of military personnel to benefit from the proposed project are Rotating Participants who receive two weeks of trauma training from Cadre members specializing in the same medical discipline as a Rotating Participant. While UMMC provides immediate exposure to trauma care to Rotating Participants, a vital component of the proposed project is to develop a mechanism to objectively measure trauma skills, readiness, and subsequent degradation over time for members of the Cadre and Rotating Participants. The proposed project will also create a structure to receive and process information from Cadre and Rotating Participants after deployment and treating combat casualties leveraging the current CSTARS evaluation process. This information will help the project team determine which trauma training and skills development are most effective for providing trauma care in combat situations and which trauma training and skills development needs improving.
