Team members with the Defense Health Agency’s Operational Medical Systems Program Management Office are showcasing their military medical development and acquisition programs during the Special Operations Medical Association (SOMA) annual conference this week in Raleigh, North Carolina, April 28 through May 1.
Throughout the week, OPMED development and acquisition experts will engage with military medical providers and potential industry partners to raise awareness of how OPMED supports the DHA’s primary role as a combat support agency and highlight the organization’s development programs and products during exhibit hours at Booth 221.
SOMA brings together experts in prehospital, tactical, wilderness, austere, disaster, and deployed military medicine, according to the organization’s website. The conference is an opportunity for OPMED, military medical providers, and experts from across the Department of War, medical development industry, and academia to discuss the current and future states of military medicine, and to showcase capabilities and information about development programs designed to preserve and protect America’s warfighters.
