This historical medical reference will provide an introduction to military medicine for medical students new to the military. Military medicine is the application of medical art and science in a military setting for the benefit of the military organization through optimal care of the combatant.

Topics covered include:

  • the history of military medicine,
  • leadership,
  • the management and treatment of trauma and mass casualties in frequently austere field and ship environments;
  • the humane clearing of the battlefield;
  • vaccines and protection against exotic global pathogens—both manmade and naturally occurring;
  • unique psychological stressors of war;
  • biodefense against chemical and nuclear weapons;
  • facilitating return to duty; and
  • the eventual return and reintegration home, of valuable human resources
