Association of Military Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons

Association of Military Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons The Association of Military Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons (AMOPS) was established in 1977

AMOPS focuses the attention of the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) on the unique aspects of practice in the Uniformed Services by the more than 2,200 Doctors of Osteopathy meeting our nation's military and federal medical needs throughout the world. AMOPS efforts have resulted in modifications to dues and Continuing Medical Education (CME) requirements due to the nature of uniformed service

. AMOPS is the 13th largest divisional society in the osteopathic profession. DOs comprise approximately 10 percent of the physicians in the Armed Forces. AMOPS also represents the interests of former Medical Corps DOs who have retired or separated from the military, private practice physicians serving in the Guard or Reserve, osteopathic medical students in the Health Professions Scholarship Program and federally-employed physicians. AMOPS also promotes the advancement of osteopathic principles in military/federal practice and institutions. AMOPS conducts an annual CME conference to support the maintenance of operational medicine for its members and coordinates its efforts with the other osteopathic divisional societies. Among the results of these efforts are: lower AOA dues for military physicians on active duty; CME requirements adjusted for remote and overseas complications; and relevant, quality CME opportunities at a very reasonable price.

Stopping the Bleeding Through a Pinhole: Dr. John Pavlus on Trauma Interventional Radiology Techniques

Before any intervention is contemplated, there is a clinical assessment that generally includes imaging. Dr. John Pavlus, Chief of Interventional Radiology at Brooke Army Medical Center, walks through the sixty-minute clock, the liver, the spleen, and the one tool he would carry into combat — no incision required.

Military-civilian partnerships can help military surgeons maintain the high-acuity skills needed for combat casualty care during peacetime.
​
A new Military Medicine study developed a framework connecting civilian Current Procedural Terminology codes with the U.S. Army General Surgeon Individual Critical Task List, creating a more objective way to measure readiness.
​
Across 2 embedded Army surgeons, the framework captured thousands of combat-relevant tasks, including FAST examinations, laparotomies, tube thoracostomies, trauma resuscitation, and critical care management.
​
The findings support civilian trauma centers as valuable readiness environments while offering a practical approach for program evaluation, readiness reporting, and future policy development.
​
Read the full study to learn how clinical experience can be translated into measurable military surgical readiness.
