Providing the Latest Information

Continuing to learn about your craft is necessary to be the best. This concept does not exclude paramedicine.

With a new focus in the profession on active shooter situations and tactical EMS, the goals of paramedics are changing to an extent.

The Journal of Special Operations Medicine helps its readers accomplish these goals.

Established in 2000 and privately published since 2011, JSOM aims to improve quality of care by promoting education among special operations forces medical personnel.

The peer-reviewed journal promotes the examination of the latest advancements in unconventional medicine and provides information and debate on medical issues surrounding tactical emergency medical support.

Bridging the gap between military and civilian medicine, JSOM provides practical and sensible ideas and techniques to the civilian TEMS provider who operates in a tactical environment.

The articles take real-world information and present it for medical personnel to implement in real time.

Robert Miller, a former Ranger medic, now chief innovation officer at North American Rescue, says this is a big part of why he has been reading JSOM since the publication’s beginnings.

Miller says out of the other educational publications on the subject, he prefers JSOM.

“It is a peer-reviewed publication with content focused on improving knowledge and a skill set for tactical healthcare professionals worldwide,” Miller says, explaining his preference.

Miller says JSOM is innovative and cutting edge in the way it approaches the issues.

“The publication is on the leading edge, providing not necessarily what is relevant now, but what thought leaders envision will be important in the near future and on the horizon,” Miller says.

Because of this, Miller says he recommends JSOM to others, and encourages others to read it.
