Introduction
"Desert Storm" demonstrated once again that Navy Hospital Corpsmen are vital
members of the Health Care Delivery Team. Their responsibilities and roles are expanding
as are the demands placed on them to provide quality health care. In order to meet these
demands and better prepare Hospital Corpsmen, training is a necessity. The Sick Call
Screeners Course is such a program and is directed at the junior Hospital Corpsmen (E-2 to
E-4). Here the Corpsmen are exposed to clinical subjects taught by a staff of highly
skilled personnel (Physicians, Nurses, Physician Assistants, and Independent Duty
Corpsmen). The goals and objectives of this course are:
-
To give the Corpsmen a better understanding of the clinical aspects of medicine in a
Military Sick Call setting.
-
To expose corpsmen to the techniques of obtaining a history, performing a physical exam
and recording their findings in an outpatient record.
-
To learn the signs, symptoms and therapy for medical problems that are common to
military sickcall.
