Overview
Specialty specific JKSA Procedural Skills Assessment Courses are available for all service providers to complete the “S" component of the clinical readiness program. Courses are designed for specific clinical personnel and are available for those participants, with pre-deployment providers having first priority for course scheduling. The content for all courses was developed to prepare military clinicians for expeditionary patient management in their specialty specific scopes of practice. The peer-reviewed course resources include critical content in multiple formats (PDFs, slides, video, audio, websites, etc.) that were curated by experience providers with significant deployment histories from each specialty.

JKSA procedural skills assessment courses are available for surgical specialties and medical specialties. Courses are completed through a hybrid model consisting of two parts: 1. Procedural knowledge, reasoning, judgment, and decision-making. 2. Hands-on performance of procedural components.
