FORT CABAZOS, Texas – As a major military medical facility, Carl R. Darnal Army Medical Center has long been providing excellent health care to service members, their families and veterans. This commitment to excellence extends beyond patient care to the critical education and training of the next generation of highly skilled resident professionals in family medicine residency programs.
On February 28th, the program celebrated its 25th anniversary with a gathering of continuing medical education courses for former and current program directors, alumni, faculty and residents.
“Without our residents, we wouldn't be here today. Without our residents, we wouldn't be here today, so it's my clear honour to return to the Army Family Medicine Residency Program here at Fort Cabazos.” “What really makes this program an exception is that it's not our facilities, but it's not an outstanding curriculum, but cutting edge, but it's the people, especially the past, present and future residents who embody the spirit and mission of Army medicine.”
Started at CRDAMC in 2020, FMRP is designed to provide comprehensive training after physicians complete their medical school education. This program is an integral part of the Army Medical School and ensures that residents receive the practical experience, guidance and guidance necessary to become a competent and balanced Army family physician. It is a rigorous three-year programme that bridges the gap between academic learning and independent practice, focusing on the military-specific medical needs of soldiers, retirees and dependents.
The program includes a variety of family medicine specialties, including sports medicine, family medicine obstetrics, geriatric medicine, hospitalist medicine, and undergraduate development. And for that balanced education, it relies on specialties in internal medicine, surgery, psychiatry, obstetrics, pediatrics and emergency medicine. Residents are exposed to a variety of clinical scenarios, from routine care to complex cases, providing a robust foundation for future careers as military physicians.
“Our residents work throughout the hospital. They work in clinics, medical surgery wards, and in labor and labor beds, so they work throughout the hospital with a wide range of practice,” CPT said. Samantha Green, FMRP faculty and simulation director.
At the heart of FMRP is individual physicians who show a passion for medicine, a commitment to service, and a strong desire to serve the Army health care system. These residents not only advance medical knowledge and skills, but also embody the value of their obligations, honor and commitment to define the Army, Laurie added.
“Testimony of our residents and our family residency programs among first-year family medicine residents nationwide. Jacob Baehman, a resident of CRDAMC, won over 99% in the U.S. Family Medicine Board of Education Training Examination.
Residents practice exams multiple times throughout the residency, from graduating from the program to a real exam.
“I think I did really well, but I'm still learning,” Behman said. “It's an honor and I'm humbled by the recognition I have from my peers and teachers.”
Baehman praised the program's faculty staff for his test scores and success, and was credited earlier this month by Lt. Gen. Kevin D. Admiral, commander of III Armor Corps.
“I'm really grateful for the whole program. Dr. Laurie is very supportive and helpful and very friendly as a program director. This is a refreshing leadership style. All the other residents are really friendly and it's a really supportive environment and I think it's contributing to the success they have.”
Residents are the visible face of the program, but they have an entire team of support staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure success. From teacher instructors and mentors to administrative staff and clinical coordinators, every individual plays an important role in shaping the educational experience of the residents.
“The hospital's simulation centre manager and simulation technician, Richard Sylvia, said:
“We change our vital signs and look at the mannequins, so they can see if they will affect the treatment.”
Plante offered to respond differently to a group of residents each year when working with the simulator mannequin.
“It varies from year to year group, because they went through four years of medical school and that's the didactic part, but in residency it's more practical, so now you can manually apply what you've learned in the classroom and see improvements from year to week.”
As we continue to invest in our residents and staff, we are confident that CRDAMC will remain at the forefront of providing first-class medical education and extraordinary care to our service members and families, Raleigh concluded.
