Is there enough room in civilian trauma centers for military medical personnel?
A 2006 report found that 57 percent of Level I trauma centers and 74 percent of Level II trauma centers report a problem with inadequate numbers of on-call physicians. Civilian trauma centers are also threatened by a shortage of supporting medical personnel. In this way, embedding military physicians, physician assistants, and medics and corpsmen in civilian trauma centers yields benefits both to fallen troops and to civilians whose local trauma centers face staff shortages or closure.
