- dnautics 9y agoI believe for combat trauma surgery (the navy supplies all doctors and medics for the usmc), they typically send MDs to Johns Hopkins or UCLA surgery residency programs. The surgeon who operated on Gabrielle giffords was a us Navy fleet marine force surgeon.
- geofftrojans 9y agoThis article is referring to Navy Corpsman. They are medics, closer to an EMT than a surgeon. After boot camp at Naval Station Great Lakes, they go to "A" School (basically, their specialty school) in San Antonio. It is my understanding that this training at a hospital trauma center would be after their school in San Antonio, before they were attached to a Marine unit and deployed.
