Tech. Sgt. John Varner, an independent duty medical technician assigned to the 39th Operational Medical Readiness Squadron, is one of three Incirlik Air Base medical professionals who attended medical training at Acıbadem University in Istanbul, Turkey, Oct. 26-28, 2021. As the only enlisted military health care providers in the Air Force, IDMTs are specially trained medics who provide total medical care at remote locations and deployments in the absence of a physician. Airmen from the 39th OMRS visited Acıbadem’s Center of Advanced Simulation and Education to train in a more realistic environment, with state-of-the-art technology that provides real-time feedback to the medical team, which greatly enhances the level of training and readiness that Airmen are receiving. The team, which consisted of a clinical nurse and two enlisted medical technicians, performed a spectrum of training scenarios, ranging from clinical patient care to tactical combat casualty care. They also capitalized on the opportunity to use the facility’s virtual reality capabilities to perform basic life-saving skills. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Jacob Derry)
