With Dr. Jennifer Gurney
In this episode, Dr. Jen Gurney, chief of the Defense Committee on Trauma (DCoT) joins us from a deployed location to talk about the SMOG Multiple Trauma guideline and management of the patient with multiple trauma. This episode runs a little longer and is packed with gems from one of the Army’s top trauma surgeons.
COL Gurney discusses challenges in military pre-hospital documentation. Schauer, et al describe this at length:

Dr. Gurney further emphasizes the need for military-civilian partnerships to ensure medical providers maintain their skills. If your unit has an effective partnership in place for pre-hospital providers, please let us know about it at dustoffmedicpodcast.com.
