Military Health System Strategic Partnership American College of Surgeons

About MHSSPACS

The American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the U.S. Department of Defense Military Health System (MHS) formed the Military Health System Strategic Partnership American College of Surgeons (MHSSPACS) to improve educational opportunities, systems-based practices, and research capabilities in surgery. The strategic partnership—launched December 2014—will facilitate collaboration and the exchange of information between ACS and MHS to advance high-quality, cost-effective care for surgical patients.

Military Clinical Readiness Curriculum

The Military Clinical Readiness Curriculum is designed for a general surgeon deployed to a relatively far forward battlefield base who must be capable of providing initial trauma resuscitation and life- and limb-saving surgical procedures for those injured in combat.
