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

Col. Tory Woodard, center, commander, U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, makes a speech during the official opening of the Enlisted Critical Care Course (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 to create a training wing at Soin Medical Center, which 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 B

Maj. Kevin Smith, trauma nurse, 130th Medical Group, Charleston, West Virginia, Air National Guard; and Maj. Danielle Betz, emergency physician, 48th Medical Group, RAF Lakenheath, U.K. set up prototype B of the of the tactical anesthesia workstation (TAW), for the first time April 8, 2022, during a Ground Surgical Team (GST), training course at U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Maj. Thomas Heering, an austere anesthesia cadre for the GST, 711th Human Performance Wing, Air Force Research Laboratory, submitted the 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 winning prototype. The team with push the recommended prototype to the GST pilot group for further deliberation. (U.S. Air Force photo/Aleah Castrejon)
