Air Force SMART program sustains readiness and currency through tailored training

The cadre of Air Force medical instructors who are embedded within University Medical Center of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas, Nevada, pose for a photo on Oct. 24, 2022. These medical instructors are part of the Air Force’s Sustained Medical and Readiness Trained, or SMART, program, which is one of U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine’s five geographically separated units. These instructors include operating room technicians, anesthesiologists, emergency room nurse, and administrative specialist to name a few. The SMART program ensures Air Force medics receive the appropriate clinical currency to retain their readiness. (Courtesy photo)
