KUDOS to a key member of our healthcare training team, Joe Ogershok, who was recognized by our customer at Fort Detrick for his support of the recent Advanced Trauma Life Support
courses conducted at the Uniformed Services University during the week of March 12-16, 2018.
"It is fair to say that without his leadership and willingness to step up were essential to the success of this key readiness curriculum. His efforts bring great credit to himself, your department, Ft. Detrick, and the DoD, and should not go unnoticed...Thanks again for your ongoing support and provision of a key (indispensable) member of our team helping to ensure that our next generation of young doctors and nurses will be able to expertly care for our wounded heroes and save lives that might otherwise have been lost. You have my gratitude!"
-Surgical Director of Simulation, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences
