MEDCoE starts new operationally focused paramedic pilot course
January 16, 2020
Sgt. 1st Class Reid Carpenter, a past flight paramedic instructor, wirelessly adjust the setting of a medical patient simulator as two Army Health Care Specialists (68W), also known as combat medics, practice treating an injured patient inside a UH-60 Blackhawk trainer. The life-sized trainer offers students the opportunity of realistic classroom exercises emulating the sound, wind, and stressful environment of an actual helicopter. These concepts were transferred to the new Combat Paramedic Course pilot program that began in January.
