Advancing the Physical and Mental Care of our Armed Services

Welcome back to IDGA’s 13th Battlefield Healthcare event: Pre and Post Deployment Combatant Care. IDGA’s Battlefield Healthcare summits are highly recognized and respected forums where members of the military healthcare community can come together for advanced and focused discussions on up to date clinical treatment techniques, lessons learned from the battlefield, and panel discussions that also allow participants to earn continuing education (CME and CE) credits.

This year IDGA has raised the bar once again to incorporate brand new, dynamic features to the agenda so healthcare providers can walk away with the most effective and innovative methods of treating men and women in uniform.

A Must See!

A live performance by the Theater of War.

This performance is designed to increase awareness among care providers and Warfighters of post-deployment psychological health issues.

 

What others are saying:

"Overall excellent conference. Very informative and relevant." - Canadian Forces Health Services
"This was among the best conferences, most comprehensive and worthwhile training I have ever attended." - NNMC Bethesda
