What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Research Pillar
The SOM+C Research Pillar is dedicated to research and development that directly supports the SOF Medic. Research includes the collection of data to improve prehospital medicine, studies which SOM+C will publish, support for SOF Medics to produce their own research and articles through our partnerships, and research on the newest technology and equipment to help improve prehospital medicine and support the SOF Medic. All of these efforts have the same goal, to assist the SOF Medics of the community in enhancing their skills and efficiency.
Training Pillar
The Training Pillar operates as a focal point for training specially designed to improve and sustain the SOF Medic’s knowledge and skills.
Our role within the coalition is:
To provide high-quality training scenarios, articles, and discussions on crucial skills, knowledge, and mindset required for the SOF Medic.
Prepare the SOF Medic to proactively engage the additional complications imposed upon them by the dynamic, volatile, and uncertain environment in which they operate.
Provide the SOF Medic with guidance on means to verify the efficacy of both their own training and the training they provide others.
Outline necessary skills and training methodology to train Non-Medics in crucial life-saving skills.
Share tips, tricks, and life hacks to improvise and improve training aids to allow SOF Medics to effectively and affordably train themselves and others.
Gather data and identify information gaps to feed back to the Research Pillar in an effort to continue the “infinity loop” and synergistic relationship between Evidence Based Medicine and Environment Based Medicine.
Serve as a hub for lessons learned, vignettes, and discussions on the multitude of problem sets that plague the SOF Medic.
Community Outreach
The Community Outreach Pillar operates as a support program providing mentorship, guidance, benevolence, and heritage preservation to the enlisted SOF Medic.
Our role within the coalition is:
To act as the fundraising arm of the organization, supporting future programs through merchandise sales, fundraising events, and donor management.
To seek out sponsors and partners that share in our values and vision.
Create mentorship opportunities by pairing active duty and transitioning SOF Medics with former SOF Medics with careers in Medicine, Allied Health and Health Care Management.
Pursue financial aid options for continuing education and higher education.
Provide up to date information through our website, social media, emails, and newsletters to our members.
International
SOM+C has worked in cooperation with SOF units and civilian agencies around the world to create, locate, and connect SOF medics with the resources and opportunities from across the globe to advance their careers.
The international contribution is one of the founding principles of SOM+C. Our initiatives are focused on:
Enhancing interoperability: sharing knowledge about procedures, technique, training, and equipment in a controlled environment to guarantee friction-free cooperation while deployed.
Facilitate networking: provide a platform to promote interaction between the members of the community, overcoming the barriers created by space and bureaucracy.
