CADET MEDIC SCHOOL - 3 Weeks

Training begins with comprehensive classroom instruction covering the foundations of emergency medical care, patient assessment, anatomy and physiology, medical and traumatic emergencies, bleeding control, airway management, shock recognition, and emergency communications. Cadets also learn medical ethics, patient confidentiality, infection control, documentation, and the importance of professionalism while serving as members of an emergency response team.

During the practical training phase, Cadets apply these principles through extensive hands-on instruction under the supervision of experienced military and civilian medical professionals. Participants practice patient assessments, splinting, bandaging, spinal motion restriction, bleeding control, oxygen administration, CPR, automated external defibrillator (AED) operation, and emergency childbirth while responding to realistic medical emergencies in a disciplined military training environment.
