Military Medical Training and Support

The WVU Critical Care and Trauma Institute proudly provides clinical training for key members of the U.S. Department of Defense medical community. Recognized as a destination of choice for U.S. Army Special Forces Medical Sergeant training, we are committed to expanding opportunities that support service members’ clinical education. Through the establishment of the Section for Military and Austere Medicine and Surgery, we aim to strengthen military medical programs, foster veteran support, and serve as a central hub for collaboration between the WVU School of Medicine and government agencies.

We have built a reputation as a destination of choice for U.S. Army Special Forces Medical Sergeant clinical training, and our goal is to explore future opportunities to assist with service members’ clinical training.

In partnership with the 167th Airlift Wing Medical Group of the West Virginia National Guard, The WVU Critical Care and Trauma Institute conducts comprehensive 40-hour, hands-on clinical rotations in emergency and critical care medicine. These rotations are specifically designed to meet the requirements of the National Guard Comprehensive Medical Readiness Program, ensuring Guard medical personnel maintain mission-ready clinical skills.

The WVU Critical Care and Trauma Institute established the Section for Military and Austere Medicine and Surgery to build interest in military programs and to support veterans. Our goal is to become the hub for all military support and coordination between the WVU School of Medicine and government entities.

Through the Section for Military and Austere Medicine and Surgery, we can assess clinical interests to assist with future programs and build a resource for establishing new training programs and partnerships.
