Battalion Medic (68W)

Mar 2013 - Present
As the battalion senior medic at the 400th Military Police Battalion, I assumed responsibility for 20 medical personnel spread across three military police companies. I ensured all medics were compliant in both NREMT and US Army TC 8-800 qualifications. I was charged with maintaining a 10% Combat Lifesaver active certification rate across the battalion. I also conducted platoon-level care such as administering routine and emergency medical treatment to Soldiers, educating soldiers on health threats encountered in the field, and maintaining the training and readiness of soldiers in my section. I also held the duty position of Platoon Sergeant and was responsible for the accountability and safety of 70 Soldiers. Show less

Jun 2019 - Aug 2020
I served overseas in Saudi Arabia where I managed a clinic tasked with the medical care of over 500 deployed Service Members and 1,000 permanent US Military personnel. I served as the direct supervisor to four medics, while overseeing clinic operations that included a contracted team of 3 physicians, 3 nurses, and 3 paramedics. As senior medic during the largest COVID-19 outbreak in the Central Command region, I worked unceasingly during an active community outbreak to prevent the spread of the virus and to ensure the proper care of symptomatic individuals. For my hard work and dedication, I was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for distinguished meritorious service. Show less

Sep 2015 - May 2019
At Medstar Washington Hospital Center, I took an active role in the safety and improvement of hospital procedures. I participated on committees to improve patient “door-to-doc” flow and reduce wait times. As “unit champion” for splinting and ultrasound-guided PIV placement, I often engaged in certifying ED staff in these advanced procedures. I volunteered to be trained as part of the “Biocontainment Unit (BCU)” team to care for patients with highly infectious diseases such as Ebola and measles. As a skilled technician, I was also recruited into a research study to test an experimental wire-introduced peripheral venous access device. Show less

I worked as part of an interdisciplinary team supporting an Oncology ambulatory care clinic. Our patients were treated by Dermatologists, Urologists, Orthopedists, and chronic pain management. I would greet and prepare patients for their scheduled appointment, maintain the examination areas, and coordinate patient flow. I also assisted with several outpatient procedures such as male uroscopies, bladder biopsies, venous access port removals, and abdominal paracentesis.
