U.S. Army Medical Center of Excellence

Brigadier General Mohamed Sherif and Brigadier General Hala Ahmed of the Egyptian Ministry of Defense, along with members of their staffs, visited the AMEDDC&S HRCoE to learn about the different programs and see first-hand training and detailed briefings by instructors and subject matter experts. The visitors had the opportunity to see the Tactical Combat Medical Care, U.S Army Graduate Program in Anesthesia Nursing, and the 68C Practical Nursing Specialist Phase 1 programs. The visit was coordinated by the AMEDDC&S HRCoE International Military Student Office.

BG Sherif and BG Hala received briefings on post-graduate military medical training courses, military medical specific training into the Egyptian military medical school's curriculum, and Integration of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC3) training with future Egyptian Land Forces and Army Field Training Exercises. The briefings and discussions enhanced the relationship between U.S. Department of Defense and Egyptian Ministry of Defense by sharing knowledge and understanding of medical curriculum development for training medical personnel in the Egyptian Armed Forces.

Engagements with our allies and partner nations strengthen DoD and our Army. This visit represents a continuation and successive step from a July 2018 Subject Matter Expert Exchange attended by the U.S. Army Central Command Surgeon.

Before arriving in San Antonio they visited the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) in Bethesda, Maryland.
