Why You Should Attend
The 7th Annual
Operational Medicine Symposium & Technology Showcase will bring together senior leaders across DoD, federal government, academia, and industry to explore how to maximize healthcare from point of injury to en route care to facility based treatment, whether on land, sea, air, or space.
To prepare for a shift in the global security environment, the United States is prioritizing the need to be ready to respond to large scale combat operations between peer or near peer adversaries that could result in a large number of casualties, denied evacuation routes, limited transportation options, and strained medical resources. This year's Operational Medicine Symposium will explore how to sustain life at the point of injury, prolong field care, extend the golden hour, treat burns, optimize human performance, and prevent and treat infectious diseases to ensure maximum survivability for warfighters and civilians. Speakers will also cover topics such as space medicine, special operations forces combat medicine, and the role of allies and partners in strengthening medical capabilities and response.
Attendees at the 2025 Symposium will have the opportunity to hear from and engage with senior leaders across the community as to how the Military Health System is evolving healthcare and medical capabilities to stay ahead of adversaries. Join 1,000 participants at this premier event to engage with top medical experts, practitioners, and clinicians from across the military medical community.
