Hi Everyone,
I have a question about tactical medicine. On Dallas SWAT (the best and worst show on TV), there is an MD (I believe he is an EM attending @ Parkland) who is also a member of the SWAT team. I also know a DO Trauma Surgeon in Maine who does Tactical medicine.
Does anyone know how to get into this? In looking at EM residencies I've seen random one sentence mentions of EM residents have a patient care role with the local SWAT team, but it is never really articulated fully. I know most SWAT teams have EMT-Ps on them, but I was wondering about Docs, and how to get into it.
