This model addresses preventative medicine. Along with med planning, this is a topic that's almost never exciting unless its done poorly.  However, its vitally important and one of the best ways to ensure the health of your team. Remember that disease and non-battle injury (DNBI) contribute more casualties than enemy action in any war. So wash your hands, put on your COVID mask, and settle in to learn some good info on PrevMed.

There are two primary parts to this module. The slide series provides a review of vectors and vector-based disease. The test leans harder on this content. The podcast is an interview with SSG Simpson that really tries to give you a sense of what he and his PrevMed colleagues bring to the table to help your ODA, and offers some useful pointers and stories.When you take the test you should have the slide deck open, and also have a source for looking up the signs/symptoms of various infectious diseases.
