2010 Battlefield Healthcare Summit

The Next Generation of Treatment, Training, and Technology from Level 1 to CONUS

With each new year of continuous operations in the asymmetric environments of OIF/OEF comes new lessons learned, new advancements made in the military healthcare community, and new challenges for the future. Medical advancements in treatment, training, and technology are helping to improve the level of care our warriors can receive from Level 1 to CONUS.

IDGA’s Battlefield Healthcare summits have become the highly recognized and respected forum where members of the military healthcare community can come together for advanced and focused discussions on up to date clinical treatment techniques, lessons learned from the battlefield, and panel discussions that also allow participants to earn continuing education (CME and CE) credits.
