An Overview of the Special Operations Interactive Medical Training Program (SOIMTP).
Abstract
The Special Operations Interactive Medical Training Program (SOIMTP) was developed to assess the feasibility of using a computer-based system to provide medical training for corpsmen and medics attached to Special Operations (SpecOps) units of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force. SOIMTP is a modular medical training system that runs on a personal computer (PC). Corpsmen and medics can use SOIMTP almost anytime, anywhere, and an instructor need not be present. All that is required is a PC (i.e., portable laptops and notebooks) and the SOIMTP software. The present version of SOIMTP has training modules in 21 different subject areas. Each of the individual modules was developed to provide training in specific areas that are relevant to SpecOps forces and the unique environments in which they must operate. The question-and-answer items in each of the modules were designed to cover major components of these subject areas and to reflect the special knowledge required of corpsmen and medics attached to SpecOps units. SOIMTP has been approved for Independent Duty Corpsman Continuing Education Credits by the Naval Health Sciences Education and Training Command. This report describes system development and operation and it provides a brief overview of each of the modules.
