Options for Maintaining Clinical Proficiency During Peacetime

The U.S. Army Medical Department's missions are to care for the war wounded during conflict and to operate medical treatment facilities (MTFs) that care for service members, their beneficiaries, and military retirees. Because the injuries that require treatment during wartime can be very different from the case mix seen in MTFs, the Army sought to identify ways to help providers prepare for wartime missions while they are stationed at home.
