The 711th Human Performance Wing (711 HPW), U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM) En Route Care Training Department (ET) provides initial, advanced, and continuing en route care and currency education and training for Total Force nurses, physicians, administrators, medical technicians and respiratory therapists as well as DoD and international military medical personnel involved in delivering capabilities for the aeromedical evacuation system to ensure safe and optimal outcomes during patient movement. The department employs various high-tech, high-fidelity patient manikin simulators and maintains a KC-135, C-17, four C-130’s, one full and one partial 767 aircraft fuselages, and a UH-60 Black Hawk trainers to provide enhanced multi-modalities learning in more realistic care delivery environments. Concentrating on currency training, staff assigned to the department’s three of the four Centers for Sustainment of Trauma and Readiness Skills (C-STARS) and the Sustained Medical and Readiness Trained Regional Currency Site (SMART RCS) are significantly involved in both en route and trauma care research.

MISSION: To educate and train Total Force medical personnel responsible for delivering basic and advanced en route care capabilities within the aeromedical evacuation system using the most advanced modalities and realistic mission environments possible, and to provide potent training venues to fulfill clinical currency and readiness skills requirements.
