Operational Medicine Symposium

March 25-26, 2024  Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, San Antonio TX

The 6th Annual Operational Medicine Symposium (OpMed) & Technology Showcase is one of the largest and most influential military medical events in North America for senior medical officials, clinicians, government leaders, and solution providers. OpMed offers the unique opportunity to learn, network and engage with military medical professionals in an information driven, networking focused environment.

Each year this foremost symposium provides an opportunity for the services, medical units, industry partners and practitioners to advance military medical knowledge, techniques, and combat skills to support the delivery of high-quality healthcare in operational environments. Attend for the opportunity to explore prospects and partnerships with operational leaders and key decision makers who are at the forefront of improving warfighter health, strength, and survivability.

Defense Strategies Institute’s 6th Annual Operational Medicine Symposium will bring together senior leaders from across the military, government healthcare agencies, academia, and industry to explore the optimization of military medicine through the modernization and implementation of policies, education, training, research & development, and emerging technologies to maximize warfighter health, strength, and survivability. As the United States recognizes the potential for a future high-end fight marked by mass casualties, the Operational Medicine Symposium will explore how to sustain life at the point of injury and beyond.

The 2024 Symposium will explore topics in operational medicine such as traumatic brain injuries, burn care treatment, infectious disease prevention, psychological stressors, contested logistics, tactical combat casualty care, and more. Speakers will address how the Military Health System is supporting the National Defense Strategy to prepare for large scale combat operations by ensuring a ready medical force and a medically ready force. Join over 1,000 individuals at the premier military medical event to hear medical experts, practitioners, and clinicians from across the military medical community discuss how to maximize care for the wounded and injured, including at the point of injury, en route, and in facility on land, sea, or aerospace.
