MOM 4120 Military Operational Clinical Experience
Military operational medicine electives may be arranged as a preceptorship under a licensed physician or physician group providing preventive and acute healthcare services for an operational military unit. Battalion Surgeons and Flight Surgeons would be two examples. The clinical rotation will typically be in a clinic or clinic-like setting, which may or may not be co-located with a Medical Treatment Facility (MTF). It affords students the chance to learn about the role of physicians on commander’s staffs and health services support of operational aerospace, ground, or maritime units in garrison and pre-deployment settings.
