68 CMF COURSES

081-68W10 Healthcare Specialist MOS-T Phases 1, 2, and 3

This course was developed to award the 68W MOS to Soldiers who do not hold the 68W MOS. This course is not for transition or Y2 removal. The course consists of three phases. Phase 1 consists of preparation and testing to obtain certification as a National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT), a credential tied to the 68W MOS. This phase is 148 hours encompassing a total of 6 modules and associated written examinations, as well as a skills competency demonstration through the NREMT Psychomotor Examination. Phase 1 culminates with the NREMT Computer Adaptive Test (CAT). Phase 2 builds upon the baseline medical skills and knowledge obtained during Phase 1. Focus is placed on the scope of practice of a 68W both in a clinical setting as well as in the field. This phase is 132 hours and consists of three modules: Limited Primary Care, Fieldcraft 1, and Fieldcraft 2, each with associated written examinations to conclude each module. Phase 2 culminates with skills verification testing aptly named 68 Whiskey Skills Validation. Phase 3 is a collective phase which incorporates aspects of both Phase 1 and Phase 2. It focuses on how the Army Medical Department integrates these skills through the 68W MOS in an operational capacity. This phase is 127 hours and contains one written examination after the Fieldcraft 3 module. A final skill verification examination, the Combat Casualty Assessment, is conducted. Phase 3 culminates in a three day Simulated Training Exercise (STX), and a four day Field Training Exercise (FTX) and Culminating Training Event (CTE).

081-300-68W-CMT Comprehensive Medical Training

The 68W Comprehensive Medical Training Program (CMTP) is designed to award a fully MOS qualified medic (ref. AR 40-68) all credentials, CEUs, and Skills Validation necessary for recertification of the civilian NREMT certification requirement. The CMTP is a hybrid course, combining training packages from a selection of premier programs of instruction as well as unique courseware designed to enhance critical thinking skills and medical experience as required while operationally functioning as a military medic. This is not a traditional NREMT refresher course. Medics will be challenged and validated on their ability to integrate advanced concepts of Tactical Combat Casualty Care, Patient Movement Procedures, Sick Call and BAS Operations, Triage, Trauma and Medical Treatment, Communication and Documentation, in addition to a wide array of medically focused elective training material while immersed in simulated operational environments and scenario-driven training.
