The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USHUS) is proud to offer this report of the 15 th Conference on Military Medicine, "A Challenge to Readiness: Maintaining Currency in Military Medical Education." These proceedings serve as a record of the Service's Surgeons General nominees' contributions toward predicting the changes that will affect military medical practice over the next twenty to thirty years and of their recommendations regarding the changes needed in military health care education to prepare today's students to practice in the future. The Uniformed Services University, as the nation's pre-eminent center of military medical education, is committed to ensuring that its students are prepared to practice in our rapidly changing world. To this end, Dr. Val Hemming, Dean of the School of Medicine (SOM), directed that this conference be conducted and its proceedings be published. The specific focus of this conference was to identify the anticipated changes in military health care practice and the new educational objectives needed to properly prepare military health care practitioners for the next twenty to thirty years. Changes in both the content and structure of medical education and military medical education within the SOM are already underway. Process Experts in military and contingency medicine contributed their expertise, experience, knowledge, opinions, predictions and, most importantly, their recommendations for the planning and implementation of military medical education and training by the Department of Defense in the next twenty to thirty years. The conference began with a plenary session in which selected experts reviewed current military medicine educational and training programs and offered their "best guess" predictions in four principal topic areas: (1) new technologies, both medical and non-medical, that are likely to significantly influence the practice of military medicine over the next twenty to thirty years; (2) changes in the Services' missions and doctrines that will affect future health care delivery and the practice of military medicine; (3) emerging threats-new emerging or reemerging diseases, and new weapons or new weapon technologies; (4) changes in ethics, mores, and societal expectations that will affect the future practice of military medicine. The opening plenary session, which was designed to "set the stage," provided background information and defined the "deliverables" for each of the working panels. Presenters included: (1) Rear Admiral (Ret.) William Rowley, M.D., a prominent futurist, speaking on "The Potential Future"; (2) Colonel (Ret.

A victim in a life-threatening situation is a big challenge for rescue services around the world. Especially in a situation where assistance is to be provided in conditions that also threaten rescuers. Such an event may occur, for example, in the conditions of the battlefield. In order to provide effective assistance, separate rescue systems had to be implemented, which on the one hand included effective assistance to the victim, and on the other, they adapted it to the battlefield. These systems allow limited exposure to the risk of health or life-threatening situations to the rescuers. The paramedic operating in the emergency medical system operates in the safe zone with the equipment in emergency backpacks, along with an ambulance and entities supporting the State Medical Rescue system. The victim is to receive full assistance according to current standards. The patient is to have all the tests done to confirm or rule out life-threatening injuries. Evacuation to the hospital takes place, if the situation requires, using equipment to fully immobilize the spine. Acting in combat conditions, a paramedic in a dangerous zone provides assistance to an injured person in the field of authorship or performs only simple activities to protect the basic life functions of the victim. It is only in a potentially safe zone that he uses emergency equipment stored in a rescue pack or a personal first aid kit. Evacuation of the victim takes place on a stretcher, which does not fully protect the victim with a spinal injury.
