AFRL leaders, Kettering Health network celebrate new Enlisted Critical Care Training Center at Soin Medical Center

Master Sgt. Amanda Orvis, left, superintendent, Enlisted Critical Care Course (EECC), U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine; and Maj. Kyle Perry, chief of enlisted critical care division, USAFSAM, listen to speeches during the official opening of the EECC at the Soin Medical Center April 13, 2022, in Beavercreek, Ohio. USAFSAM is one of two mission units in the 711th Human Performance Wing, part of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). AFRL and Kettering Health Network partnered together to open this site. The site is one of six external USAFSAM sites, but this one is the first-ever of its kind. Partnering with the Kettering Health Network to create a training wing at Soin Medical Center allows the Air Force to received training as critical care technicians and also give back to the community. There are 10 courses in a year with 10 technicians each, and the four-week course provides didactics, lectures, simulations and real-patient care. (U.S. Air Force photo / Richard Eldridge)

TAW prototype before photo

A field-type operating room depicts what it is like to work on a Ground Surgical Team (GST), with the manikin up off the ground and the GST’s equipment on the ground. In an effort to make the field environment more efficient for providers, Maj. Thomas Heering, an austere anesthesia cadre for the GST, 711th Human Performance Wing, Air Force Research Laboratory, submitted the tactical anesthesia workstation (TAW), idea to Spark Tank in 2021, and the idea moved forward with a team of engineers in the rapid prototyping cell (RPC). The RPC team developed the three prototypes for testing beginning in January 2022, and have since narrowed it down to one overall TAW winner. The team with push the recommended winner to the GST pilot group for further deliberation. (U.S. Air Force photo/Maj. Thomas Heering)
