Updating the Medical Military Unique Curriculum Using the SOFMH Online Editorial Review System
Abstract
The Military Unique Curriculum (MUG) consists of 24 individual learning modules The Center for Total Access (CTA) applied for a FY04 grant of $298,200 to $120.000 to update these modules but only $120,000 was awarded Since the funding that we applied for was cut by 60% It was decided to concentrate our efforts on updating the eight modules of the Military Unique Curriculum that dealt with Chemical, Biological, Radiological Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) topics. These modules are entitled: (1) Chemical Casualties: Introduction (2) Chemical Casualties: Vesicants (3) Chemical Casualties; Nerve Agents (4)Chemical Casualties: Pulmonary Agents (5)Chemical Casualties: Cyanide (6)Biological Warfare and Terrorism (7) Triage and Treatment of Radiation Casualties (8) Wounds of War There were three reasons for selecting these eight modules out of the twenty- four MUC modules (1) The United States is at war and these modules were felt to be the most valuable to the deployed military medical personnel (2) These eight were selected because of the pressing and urgent need to provide CBRNE education to military medical personnel in response to the 9 January 2004 Memorandum from the Assistant Secretary of Defense of Defense for Health Affairs Dr William Winkenwerder (see Appendix E) (3)We had access to up-to-date educational material from the Basic Disaster Life Support (BDLS) course.
