Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP) hosted an Advanced Surgical Skills for Exposure in Trauma (ASSET+) course, Feb. 1-2. ASSET+ is an upgraded modification of the original ASSET course, and it is a cadaver-based, anatomical review of surgical exposures in the neck, torso and extremities to allow for rapid control of bleeding in injured patients. “As NMCP becomes a trauma center, all of our surgeons will be expected to manage trauma although most are not specifically trained in trauma surgery,” said Cmdr. Timothy Donahue, NMCP’s Trauma Medical director. “Just as every Marine is a rifleman,” added Donahue, “every deployed Navy surgeon is a trauma surgeon.”
