Global Health Engagement Missions: Lessons Learned Aboard US Naval Hospital Ships

Abstract

Military Medical Personnel assigned to United States Hospital Naval Ships have played a key role in global health engagement missions. As a result, a vast amount of clinical & deployment knowledge exists among military healthcare providers who have participated in previous global health engagement missions. However, effective knowledge transfer & dissemination of meaningful clinical, leadership, & deployment related lessons learned among military healthcare personnel has remained challenging. This study will gather first person accounts of experiential learning by military nurses, physicians, & corpsmen who have participated in global health engagement missions aboard US Naval hospital ships.
