Teaching military medicine: enhancing military relevance within the fabric of current medical training.

The education of military medical students and house officers in military-relevant curricular elements is increasingly important given the greater frequency with which military physicians are deployed to field and operational settings. However, the common approaches of either expanded didactic sessions or implementation of operational rotations for trainees face competition from instruction in other aspects of medicine that are essential for all (military as well as nonmilitary) physicians. We describe efforts to integrate military-relevant education within the existing framework of medical education, including current inpatient and ambulatory care rotations. This approach complements the formal, didactic syllabus, avoiding potential conflict engendered by eliminating curricular elements to accommodate military-unique subjects.

The role of military medicine in military civic action.

We are moving into an era when U.S. military forces will be called upon frequently to perform military civic action (MCA) projects. Such projects, have been used successfully and unsuccessfully, primarily in the areas of medicine and engineering, to enhance the standing of military forces with indigenous populations. However, the available criteria for planning and assessing MCA projects are not widely known. These related and overlapping criteria are supported by facts, interpretative data, anecdotes, and common sense, but none can be considered absolute. Selected criteria are defined, reviewed, and illustrated with examples of past successes and failures.

The extent of military medicine topics taught in military family practice residency programs: Part II, A survey of residency graduates from 1987-1990.

The Military Unique Curricula (MUC) was published in 1988 as a guideline for instruction at military residencies in military-specific topics. Questionnaires were sent to 464 military family practice residency graduates from 1987-1990 to evaluate the degree of implementation of the MUC and attitudes and logistical factors relevant to military medicine instruction in military family practice residencies. Analysis reveals a range of opinions regarding the importance of military medicine and the amount of instruction on military medicine topics offered among programs. The total number of topics offered for instruction was positively correlated (p < 0.05) with the time available to teach the material, a perception that the material would not be best learned at the Combat Casualty Care Course, and the presence of a specific military medicine curriculum within the residency. This survey provides baseline information for future evaluation of the influence of MUC on military medicine instruction in residency programs. Suggestions are offered to improve instruction on military medicine topics in military family practice residencies.

The extent of military medicine topics taught in military family practice residency programs: Part I. A survey of current military family practice residency directors.

The Military Unique Curricula (MUC) was published in 1988 as a guideline for instruction at military residencies in military-specific topics. To evaluate the degree of implementation and the perceived necessity of the MUC curricula and the attitudes and logistical factors relevant to military medicine instruction in military family practice residencies, questionnaires were sent to all 18 military family practice residency directors. The results reveal a wide range of opinions regarding the importance of military medicine and the amount of instruction of military medicine topics among the residency programs. The total number of topics taught was correlated (p < 0.05) with years as residency director, awareness of the MUC, and an opinion that the material would not be better taught at service-specific schools. There appears to have been little influence of the MUC on the curricula of military family practice residencies since its publication.

New York-Tidewater Chapters' History of Military Medicine Award. The military odyssey of Norman Bethune.

While visiting the Peoples Republic of China in 1982, I became aware of the work of the Canadian, Norman Bethune, as a military surgeon. Bethune first served as a stretcher-bearer in an ambulance unit and later as a medical officer with the Allies during the First World War. He also participated in the Spanish Civil War as a military physician. He died in China while serving with Mao Tse-tung's 8th Route Army, fighting the Japanese invaders in Yenan. Bethune pioneered the use of whole blood transfusions in combat areas, first in Spain and then in China. In the annals of Chinese military history, he has been given an honored place as a military surgeon and a martyr. He is also credited in China with improving the practice of battlefield medicine, as an organizer, teacher, and innovator. Bethune's fame in China is now spreading to Canada.
