Post-academical modular training of Medical Service officer

Bundeswehr Surgeon General, Directive

"We must remain capable of offering sustainable medical support in

Germany and in theatre. This means that we must make our new

structures robust and give them the personnel they require."

We can only achieve both of these aims if we continue to increase the

attractiveness of the Medical Service.

What makes the Medical Service attractive? Examples:

Phase C – Advanced Modules (5 weeks)

Current post-academical moduar training of medical officers

Phase A - Basic Modules (12 weeks)

Phase B – Emergency Medicine (3 weeks)

Simulation-based preclinical individual training in emergency medicine

The academy is a PHTLS training site

intensification of team training with physicians and

paramedics

internationalisation of training courses

The academy is an AHA international training center

In the field of emergency medicine, training based on

algorithms and simulation is essential in order to

prepare for deployment in a structured manner.

Training in small groups always requires a large

number of personnel.
