JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (March 12, 2019) – Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Marlena Diaz, a sailor participating in Navy Medicine’s Hospital Corpsman Trauma Training, and Johnathan Azar, an emergency room technician at UF Health Jacksonville’s Emergency Critical Care Unit, set up a patient’s intravenous tubing on March 12. Sixteen hospital corpsmen from across the Navy received two weeks of specialized training at Naval Hospital Jacksonville, followed by five weeks at UF Health Jacksonville (a Level I trauma center). The corpsmen, who have already served one tour at a military treatment facility, are then assigned to operational units across the globe. The clinical rotations provide enhanced real-world trauma experience for Navy hospital corpsmen, who provide life-saving care to sailors and Marines in the field. Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Jacksonville (co-located with NH Jacksonville) ensures warfighters’ medical readiness to deploy and clinicians’ readiness to save lives.
