U.S. Army Medical Recruiting (6th MRBn)’s Post

Champva is free and easier to access care where Tricare costs abd brings a host of challenges. And most importantly Seeing a military or VA provider is optimal because they are trained and observe specific war related illness and injury. These providers unlike civilians can identify clusters and links to military service which inherently helps gain service connected compensation and research funding for better outcomes. Retirement is not worth the risk as benefits keep getting stripped from those who made the commitment. Give my husband and others like him concurrent retirement pay with his VA compensation, it’s not his fault war took away half his career. #concurrentreceipt #restoreretireebenefits #dontgiveourbenefitsaway #militarymedicinematters #supportactitveduty #supportmilfam #supportretirees #restoremilitarymedicine

Hope Monday is treating everyone well! Curious about Army Medicine? I often get asked what it's like being a Nurse, Physician, or Surgeon in this field. Contrary to popular belief, it's not like what you see in Hollywood movies. In Army Medicine, there are numerous Hospitals, Dental clinics, and veterinary facilities where dedicated medical staff work tirelessly. From Nurses on shift work to Surgeons performing miracles, the focus remains on providing top-notch care to Service members and their families. With over a decade of experience in Army Medicine, the key difference I've noticed is the unwavering focus on serving Service members and their families without the pressure of meeting civilian sector benchmarks. Army Medicine is all about providing exceptional care to those who serve our country. #ArmyMedicine #MilitaryHealthcare #HealthcareHeroes

Military families with special needs and disabilities must be aware that they may face a medical care provider shortage due to DoD policy changes. Families may even see a shortage of DoD school teachers and other support personnel if civilians are not able to access appropriate medical care. Lawmakers report they continue to hear concerns from families and personnel stationed in Japan. "They cited examples of teachers who have left their positions at Department of Defense Educational Activity schools and a child clinical psychologist who served military families but had to leave Japan after not receiving timely care for an injury. The psychologist's departure, expected late last year, according to the DoD inspector general, left just one pediatric psychologist in the country to serve military and civilian dependents." The DoD has stated they have addressed the healthcare needs of civilians and should have a system in place by the end of 2024 to address these concerns. If your family will be stationed in Japan, consider following the Japan Civilian Medical Advocacy group for the latest updates. #TRICARE #military #missionready https://lnkd.in/gf3emw9j

This NPR story is an 8-minute audio listen or you can read it with links to related stories. Here are my highlights: Army healthcare has three missions: (1) A "medically ready force" means keeping the country's army in good health. (2) A "ready medical force" means training up enough doctors and nurses to keep that army healthy and treat the wounds of war. (3) Taking care of all the military family members that accompany that Army. That third point has been strategically outsourced to move volume away from military treatment facilities and into the community. Health systems are expensive for the DoD to operate but this results in fewer opportunities for practitioners to learn from case variety while burdening community providers who don't have capacity. Meanwhile, this strategy is buttressed by a difficult and unaccepted insurance plan. #military #healthcare #TRICARE #DHA #pentagon Thank goodness for high-quality providers like Reliant Medical Group that have been taking my Tricare plan for a long time otherwise my family would be screwed.

Our final installment of provider interviews, "The Heart of a Locum: Continuing to Serve in Emergency Medicine," details our discussion with an emergency medicine physician who discovered locum tenens during his 30 years of service in the United States Army. https://bit.ly/3M8nu3z #locumtenensweek #locumtenens #VeloSource #emergencymedicine #healthcare #healthcarestaffing 

403 healthcare professionals killed in Gaza. 136 doctors, 118 nurses, and 149 ambulance techs and healthcare workers. They work under unfathomable conditions of trauma, overwhelming loss, and lack of basic support. Patients are dying because of the collapse of Gaza’s healthcare system, deliberately targeted by Israeli military as part of their genocidal agenda. Did US medical societies move a muscle? Maybe to look away. Shameful, disgraceful, while our colleagues are getting killed.
