title: Emergency department duty: a training model for the future.
abstract: Air National Guard (ANG) medical units perform 2 weeks of active duty training each year to develop and maintain essential medical skills. Providing meaningful training is, however, a great challenge to both the Guard unit and its active duty counterpart. Too often, annual training is not a relevant learning experience and so the ability of some Guard medical units to respond to actual medical taskings is compromised. The 135th Tactical Clinic, an ANG medical unit, devised and implemented a unique plan--a plan particularly relevant to the medical support requirements of Operation Desert Shield.
