Teaching Emergency Aid
Mission:
Advances made by military medicine during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq revolutionized hemorrhage control and informed a nationwide strategy for improved pre-hospital trauma care. Medical and graduate nursing students at the Uniformed Services University are proud to continue to share hemorrhage control best practices across our community through direct training and instructor certification.
Vision:
To share skills and knowledge that empower people to take life saving action.
