Abstract
The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USHUS) is proud to offer this report of the 5th Conference on Military Medicine, "A Challenge to Readiness: Maintaining Currency in Military Medical Education." These Proceedings serve as a record of the Service's Surgeons General nominees' contributions toward predicting the changes that will affect military medical practice over the next twenty to thirty years and of their recommendations rewarding the changes needed in military health care education to prepare today's students to practice in the future. The Uniformed Services University, as the nation's pre-eminent center of military medical education, is committed to ensure that its students are prepared to practice in our rapidly changing world. To this end, Dr. Val Hemming, Dean of the School of Medicine (SOM), directed that this conference be conducted and its proceedings be published. The specific focus of this conference was to identify the anticipated changes in military health care practice and the new educational objectives needed to properly prepare military health care practitioners for the next twenty to thirty years.
