Team members from the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity will participate next week with hundreds of military and medical development industry professionals at the Department of Defense's annual four-day Military Health Systems Research Symposium in Kissimmee, Florida.
MHSRS is an annual gathering hosted by the Department of Defense that brings together leading experts from the military and civilian medical development industries to discuss the current state and future of military medicine and showcase the latest technologies, treatments and devices developed to protect and defend the lives of America's warfighters.
During MHSRS, USAMMDA development experts will showcase the best medical technologies, equipment and therapies currently being developed through partnerships and contracts with the Department of Defense and private organizations. USAMMDA currently has more than 20 research and development programs across the full spectrum of combat casualty care. The team will highlight these efforts with a comprehensive display of therapies, equipment and capabilities, from the scene of injury to evacuation and inpatient care.
USAMMDA's participation in MHSRS takes months of planning and coordination with key stakeholders across USAMMDA with the opportunity to build relationships with potential future partners. The week is designed to highlight the important work of military medicine advanced developers and raise awareness of Department of Defense programs and projects designed to meet the needs of healthcare providers across the Army and its sister services.
This year is particularly notable due to the evolution of USAMMDA's structure and streamlining of efforts in U.S. military health care, as USAMMDA's three project management offices – Warfighter Readiness, Performance, and Brain Health, Warfighter Expeditionary Medicine and Treatment, and Warfighter Protection and Acute Care – continue their organizational transition to the Defense Health Agency.
USAMMDA's Soldier Medical Devices PMO will transition from USAMMDA and the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command to the Program Executive Office – Soldier.
USAMMDA is a component of USAMRDC, located at Fort Detrick, Maryland. Working with Department of Defense, industry and government stakeholders, team members in each PMO develop and deliver life-saving and life-supporting devices, treatments, medicines, vaccines and medical support equipment for the Joint Force.
