Description
Cooper University Health Care’s Military, Diplomatic, and Field Surgical Affairs (MILDAF) program was established in 2013 to enhance medical
readiness for United States Government (USG) medical providers operating in remote and austere environments. Medics, Special Operator Medics,
Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Physicians, and Nurses maintain clinical knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) by caring for the hospital’s
6000 trauma admissions annually across the continuum of care. Lessons learned over 10 years of supporting a military-civilian partnership have allowed Cooper to innovate in enhancing training for the austere resuscitative surgical care (ARSC) mission.
