AbstractThe recent article by Knisely et al. provides a comprehensive review and summary of recent literature describing simulation techniques, training strategies, and technologies to teach medics combat casualty care skills. Some of the results reported by Knisely et al. align with the findings of our team's work, and these findings may be helpful to military leadership with their ongoing efforts to maintain medical readiness. Accordingly, we provide some additional contextual understanding to the results of Knisely et al. in this commentary. Our team recently published two papers describing the results of a large survey that examined Army medic pre-deployment training. Combining the findings of Knisely et al. along with some of the contextual information from our work, we provide some recommendations for improving and optimizing the pre-deployment training paradigm for medics.© The Association of Military Surgeons of the United States 2023.
