Continuing Medical Readiness Training: An Evaluation at a Local Site
Abstract
This investigation evaluated Continuing Medical Readiness Training (CMRT) skills among medical personnel assigned to the USAF Medical Center at Wright-Patterson AFB Ohio. Results of the study indicate that personnel tended to score higher in the area of disaster medical skills than in general field and wartime specific skill categories. In comparing population subgroups, it was found that officers scored higher than enlisted personnel across all major skill categories. Individuals whose primary duties involved direct patient care scored higher in disaster medical and wartime specific skill categories than those involved primarily in indirect patient care, while no significant difference was observed in the general field skill category. No significant difference between those with seven or less years of experience and those with more than seven years experience was found in the disaster medical and wartime specific skill categories. Those with more than seven years experience did however, score significantly higher in general field skills.
