JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (August 23, 2019) – Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class James Fukartas, a sailor participating in Navy Medicine’s Hospital Corpsman Trauma Training, transports a patient at UF Health Jacksonville on Aug. 23. Sixteen hospital corpsmen from across the Navy received two weeks of specialized training at Naval Hospital Jacksonville, followed by five weeks at UF Health Jacksonville (a Level I trauma center). Fukartas, a native of Dacula, Georgia, will be assigned to USS Boxer (LHD 4), homeported at San Diego, California. “Working in the emergency department and trauma areas have helped me most. It has made my basic skills better and I feel more confident in my ability to triage trauma.” The corpsmen, who have already served one tour at a military treatment facility, are then assigned to operational units across the globe. The clinical rotations provide enhanced real-world trauma experience for Navy hospital corpsmen, who provide life-saving care to sailors and Marines in the field. Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command Jacksonville (co-located with NH Jacksonville) ensures warfighters’ medical readiness to deploy and clinicians’ readiness to save lives.
