Why You Should Attend This Symposium

• This educational symposium will bring together senior medical officials, clinicians, government leaders, academia, and solution providers to discuss the policies, strategies, and medical advancements required to improve operational medicine and increase warfighter survivability across the DoD.

• Due to the significant advances in operational medicine and preventative equipment, our Nation’s Warfighters have had the highest survival rate in modern history, however, there is still significant work to be done. DoD medical officials must actively engage with commercial partners to deliver the most up to date and technologically advanced techniques and equipment to ensure our Warfighters are ready pre-deployment, on the field, and post-deployment.

• The 2019 Operational Medicine Symposium will focus on the need for all service members to invest in readiness tools and techniques and medical modernization resources which will create capabilities to enhance and support warfighter’s needs on the battlefield.
• DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Symposiums’ content and focus areas. We seek to bring together the respected leaders from US military commands, leading research centers, government agencies, and industry technology providers. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
