Military Medical Students' Intentions to Pursue Operational Medicine: Survey Design and Initial Validation

Abstract

Purpose: Despite the longstanding practice of conducting a Summer Operational Experience(SOE) at the Uniformed Services University (USU), a formal evaluation of the program to assess its impact on motivating students to pursue an operational medicine assignment has not been conducted. Our primary objective was to develop and collect initial validity evidence for a survey instrument designed to assess various aspects of students attitudes and behavioral intentions to pursue an operational medicine assignment as a result of their participation in the SOE.
