The onset of COVID-19 pandemic and inundation of the U.S. health
care system emphasized infrastructural and health professional
education vulnerabilities. A planning committee of the National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Global Forum on
Innovation in Health Professional Education conducted a series of
public workshops in the fall of 2021 to explore whether students
and trainees should be viewed as members of the health workforce,
particular in times of emergency as was experienced during the
COVID-19 public health crisis. The planning committee gathered
educators, students, administrators, and health professionals to
share ideas, experiences, and data to strategize expansion of
learning opportunities for medical trainees and enhancement of
medical preparedness to unforeseen crises without compromising the
quality of patient care. The workshops explored issues such as
identifying evidence on value-added roles for students to serve in
the delivery of care and in a public health capacity, and balancing
the role of learners as consumers (tuition payers) and not licensed
providers versus members of the health workforce. This Proceedings
highlights presentations and discussions from the workshop. Table

Advances in trauma care have accelerated over the past decade,
spurred by the significant burden of injury from the wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq. Between 2005 and 2013, the case fatality rate
for United States service members injured in Afghanistan decreased
by nearly 50 percent, despite an increase in the severity of injury
among U.S. troops during the same period of time. But as the war in
Afghanistan ends, knowledge and advances in trauma care developed
by the Department of Defense (DoD) over the past decade from
experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq may be lost. This would have
implications for the quality of trauma care both within the DoD and
in the civilian setting, where adoption of military advances in
trauma care has become increasingly common and necessary to improve
the response to multiple civilian casualty events. Intentional
steps to codify and harvest the lessons learned within the
military's trauma system are needed to ensure a ready military
medical force for future combat and to prevent death from
survivable injuries in both military and civilian systems. This
will require partnership across military and civilian sectors and a
sustained commitment from trauma system leaders at all levels to
assure that the necessary knowledge and tools are not lost. A
National Trauma Care System defines the components of a learning
health system necessary to enable continued improvement in trauma
care in both the civilian and the military sectors. This report
provides recommendations to ensure that lessons learned over the
past decade from the military's experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq
are sustained and built upon for future combat operations and
translated into the U.S. civilian system. Table of Contents Front
