Senior Resident

As a senior resident, continue to work with a mentor in developing a plan for your career in tactical medicine or develop/complete a research or education project related to tactical medicine. You should also become more involved in your local Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Police, and Fire community response to learn the relationship regarding the political interplay between the various city and state components.

Networking

Senior residents should also continue networking through available opportunities and avenues.

• American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) Tactical Emergency Medicine Section and associated meeting(s).
• Consider events at the SAEM Annual Meeting or Regional Meetings to meet physicians and programs that have established tactical medicine departments or programs.
• Consider attending meetings with a tactical focus such as the Special Operations Medical Association Scientific Assembly or the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP) Annual Meeting.
