Receives Prestigious JEMS 2009 Hot Products Award
June 18, 2009, Sudbury, MA—Jones and Bartlett Publishers is proud to announce that 68W Advanced Field Craft: Combat Medic Skills was named a 2009 Hot Product at the 27th Annual EMS Today Conference and Exposition, hosted by the Journal of Emergency Medical Services (JEMS). To be in the top 30 out of tens of thousands of EMS products is a tremendous honor and accomplishment. It is a testament to the supreme quality and importance of 68W Advanced Field Craft.
Evaluated by the expert EMS professionals of the JEMS product review team, Hot Products are granted distinction for being, “…innovative, functional, and potentially life-saving,” and are recognized for offering, “…remarkable improvements to patient care and provider performance.”
The first of its kind 68W Advanced Field Craft: Combat Medic Skills textbook combines complete medical content with dynamic features to support both instructors and future combat medics. Developed by the United States Army, the textbook prepares future combat medics to become experts in emergency medical care, force health protection, limited primary care, evacuations, and warrior skills. Complete with skills drills, vital vocabulary, field medical care tips, and interactive case studies 68W Advanced Field Craft has made outstanding inroads in preparing combat medics for the future.
Editor Colonel Patricia Hastings, Director of the United States Army EMS said, “This book covers those items that the medic must know to provide care that will make a difference on the battlefield, in humanitarian disasters, and in austere environments. The goal of the medic is to bring back a patient and not a victim. This book assists in that endeavor.”
Editor-in-Chief Casey Bond adds, “This book ultimately contributes to saving lives on the battlefield. The contributing authors have worked in the field and understand the imperatives that exist in insecure situations. The authors have dedicated themselves to helping prepare others for the important work of saving lives for soldiers and civilians. Their dedication is visibly manifest in a 92% save rate in the current conflicts.”
