    Three U.S. Navy personnel in NWU Type III camouflage uniforms are in a medical examination room. Two individuals (name tapes visible: OSBORN and HUANG) appear to be conducting a medical or neurological assessment on a seated third service member using a tuning fork held to the head. All three are wearing black or blue face masks consistent with COVID-era protocols.

    tuning into hearing assessment training… U.S. Navy Lt. Jeffrey Osborn, physician assistant (PA) assigned to Navy Readiness and Training Command Bremerton’s Branch Health Clinic Bangor demonstrates to Hospitalmen Wendy Dang (right) and Nicholas Gevedon (seated) the Rinne and Weber test(s) routinely used to evaluate hearing loss. Osborn attests that “the single best part of his job is training and working with corpsmen. The PA profession was born out of the hospital corpsman rate and many current corpsmen and medics are the future of the PA community. Corpsmen are overwhelmingly the first link in the chain of survival following trauma or injury in operational environments. I like to challenge the corpsmen working with me to push the limits of their knowledge and allow them to practice physical exams and clinic decisions.
