Integrating Leadership and Technical Skills: Insights From Prolonged Casualty Care During Operation Gunpowder
These findings highlight challenges in integrating leadership into technical skills training. Enhancing PCC exposure, embedding communication exercises in hands-on training, and optimizing pre-practicum preparation may improve leadership development. Insights from this study can inform refinements to military medical training, including Operation Bushmaster, to better prepare future military medical officers for battlefield decision-making and leadership.
