Abstract
The Military Health System (MHS) in the United States currently faces a crisis: maintaining medical readiness during a time of relative peace in the face of an increasingly hostile and unstable geopolitical environment. Collaboration through partnerships-with civilian academic medical centers, with academic medical societies and scientific journals, and with advocates for improved policy and supporting legislation-represents one important strategy to stave off the peacetime effect that threatens to erode our combat casualty care skills. This panel session held during the 2022 Excelsior Surgical Society Symposium at the American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress explored the way forward for the MHS amidst these historic challenges with important action items and take-home points for civilian and military surgeons alike.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American College of Surgeons (JACS) is a monthly journal publishing peer-reviewed original contributions on all aspects of surgery. These contributions include, but are not limited to, original clinical studies, review articles, and experimental investigations with clear clinical relevance. In general, case reports are not considered for publication. As the official scientific journal of the American College of Surgeons, JACS has the goal of providing its readership the highest quality rapid retrieval of information relevant to surgeons.
