Special Forces medics: A cultural change

Dr. Mark Hopkins, who works with Powell at Fort Defiance, is impressed by the training. “Their acumen as far as educational knowledge and skills is better than a fourth-year medical student, and even better than a family physician resident,” he says.

I learned alot from Dr Hopkins while on my SOC-T rotation at Ft Defiance. He was very professional and very interested in teaching the SFMS students any and everything they wanted to know. Once you prove you knew what you are talking about he would let you do whatever you wanted, providing its was part of the surgery...

Things are the same in the ER as well, which until recently was managed by a former SouthCom Surgeon.
