Gov Services | From the Battlefield to the Streets

Zoom | 5 pm PST

This talk is the second installment in the Government Services Committee's 2022-23 Quarterly Collaborations lecture series, as the EMRA Wilderness Committee joins GSEMRA to host Dr. Kennen Less, MD (LT, MC, USN) on Monday, August 15, 2022, at 1700 Pacific Time (1900 Central, 2000 Eastern), for this talk reviewing the concepts behind the US Navy's "walking blood bank" far forward blood transfusion program also known as the Valkyrie project, which has become a training of record for the US Marine Corps to prevent battlefield deaths through whole blood transfusion in even the most austere forward-deployed environments, and may soon be seen mirrored in the civilian world.
