A local-Kosovo medical professional attends a U.S. Army-led medical lecture Oct. 10, 2020, in Vitina/Viti, Kosovo. More than one dozen local physicians and nurses from across Kosovo attended the day-long series of lectures where topics like orthopedic injuries, concussions and fractures were discussed. The lectures were led by the Kosovo Force Regional-Command East’s Capt. Christine Tun, an aeromedical and surgical physician assistant from the Colorado Army National Guard’s 2nd Battalion, 135th General Support Aviation Regiment, and Maj. Joshua Kessler, a doctor of osteopathic medicine and fellow of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine from the U.S. Army’s 115th Field Hospital. Also leading the lectures was the 115th Field Hospital’s Maj. James Winstead, a registered nurse, doctor of philosophy in epidemiology and a master of physician assistant studies. “We are building collegial and professional networks and sharing medical knowledge,” said Winstead. “This is professional development for us [KFOR medical providers] as well and we stay keen to our professions by collaborating with our international medical colleagues.” KFOR is a NATO-led peacekeeping mission charged with ensuring the safety and security and freedom of movement for the people of Kosovo in accordance with the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244.
