WWW.USUHS.MIL AUG. 7, 2006 

 High school students in 

the Bethesda area are getting a unique opportunity to 

see the world of medical 

professionals firsthand. For 

the second year, the Uniformed Services University of 

the Health Sciences (USU) 

has engaged students in its 

Science, Service, Medicine 

and Mentoring (S2M2) program. 

 The weeklong summer 

program created by Navy 

Capt. (Dr.) Cynthia Macri, 

vice president for Recruitment and Diversity, USU, 

takes local high school students who are interested in 

the medical field and gives 

them an inside view to what 

medical school is like and the 

professions that follow, said 

U.S. Army 2nd Lt. Jino Caro, 

a second-year medical student at USU, who served as a 

mentor this year. 

 “Basically, a bunch of high 

school students who have 

expressed interest in medicine as a profession are recruited by Captain Macri, 

and they’re here for about a 

week, which they spend 

learning about medical professions,” said Lieutenant 

Caro. “At the end of the 

week, they have to present a 

health issue. They spend the 

week visiting the hospitals, 

visiting different types of 

doctors and finding out 

what they do,” he said. 

 The students experience a 

hands-on approach to medical practices, and are exposed to a wide variety of 

medical departments, said

A psychologist from the Uniformed Services University of the 

Health Sciences (USU) earned 

the American Psychological Association (APA) Melton Early 

Career Achievement Award. 

Major select Jeffrey L Goodie, 

Ph.D., professor of family medicine will receive the award from 

the Society for Military Psychology (Division 19) of the APA 

during their annual meeting in 

New Orleans, Aug 11. 

Dr. Goodie, an Air Force psychologist, was selected for the 

award based on his role as an 

accomplished teacher, clinician 

and researcher whose work has 

advanced military psychology 

and the welfare of military personnel and their families. 

“Dr. Goodie has distinguished himself as a leader in 

clinical education and training 

of military psychologists, as a 

superb clinician in a number of 

operational settings, and as a 

scholar with an impressive track 

record of peer reviewed publications in the field,” said W. Brad 

Johnson, Ph.D., past-president of 

the society and awards committee chair. 

The award is named for Col. 

Arthur Melton, a distinguished 

military psychologist, Yale University professor, and the second president of the Society for 

Military Psychology. The award 

is designed to recognize the 

early career achievement and 

unusual excellence in research, 

service, product development, 

and administration of a junior 

military psychologist who shows 

tremendous promise as a future 

leader in the field. 

“My supervisors and mentors 

have provided me with a broad 

range of opportunities to be 

successful, so this award is really 

a reflection of their support of 

me through the course of the 

early part of my career,” said Dr. 

Goodie. 

“The selection of Dr. Jeffrey 

Goodie for this award has confirmed what the members of the 

Department of Family Medicine 

have learned firsthand since Jeff 

joined USU 10 months ago,” 

said Col. Brian Reamy, chair of 

USU’s Family Medicine Department. “He is an outstanding 

clinician, an excellent teacher 

and an accomplished scholar 

with a building résumé of 

achievements in research and 

publication.”

USU Reunion: Classes of ‘81, ‘86, ‘91, ‘96, ‘01 

USU will hold its annual Alumni Reunion 

Weekend from Dec. 1-3, 2006, honoring the 

classes of 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996, and 2001. 

Activities, open to graduates of all USU programs and classes, will take place on the USU 

campus and around the Washington, D.C., 

metro area, and will tentatively include lectures, lunch with students, tours, an Army/

Navy game viewing and “tailgate” party, dinner dance, brunch, and much more. Make 

sure to mark your calendar for this fun-filled 

weekend event! For more information, or to 

help plan, contact Kristen Brown, alumni affairs specialist, at (301)/DSN 295-9577 or 

kbrown@usuhs.mil.

The Uniformed Services University of the 

Health Sciences (USU) vice president for Recruitment and Diversity, participated as the 

host of Minneapolis, Minn. Annual Navy week, 

July 14-23. 

Captain (Dr.) Cynthia Macri, Navy, attended a Minnesota Twins baseball game and 

swore in 12 sailors under the Delayed Entry 

Program in front of more than 25,000 spectators. She also had the honor of throwing out 

the first pitch: a perfect strike. 

 She also supported other events for the 

Twin Cities Navy Week. These events included 

Caps for Kids; a visit to Mayo Clinic’s Eugenio 

Litta Children’s Hospital; the St. Paul and Minneapolis Children’s Hospitals and a child’s reading program at Crooked Lake Library in Coon 

Rapids, Minn. 

“When looking at the big picture, even 

though I thought that throwing out the pitch 

was such a rush, I think that there was probably a more lasting impression when I got to see 

all the kids in the hospital and how excited 

they were to see me, see the Navy, and talk to 

us and look at the Navy pictures that we had,” 

Captain Macri said. “So, overall I felt it was 

much more rewarding to see the kids in the 

hospital.”

Captain Macri explained her role as a Navy 

doctor and talked about the different jobs that 

sailors do. She showed them pictures of ships 

and sailors in action, and encouraged the children to become whatever they wanted. 

She used herself as an example of what 

one can become if they just apply themselves. 

“I always encourage young people to study 

hard and prepare themselves for the future.” 

Captain Macri said.

grade student at Georgetown Preparatory School in North Bethesda. 

 “We got to experience a broad spectrum of medicine,” James 

said. “We’re doing everything from learning how to give stitches 

to learning about the research part of medicine at the National 

Institutes of Health.” 

 The students got to experience a broad range of medical practices, from dentistry to labor and delivery, James said. 

 “I spent a day with labor and delivery,” James explained. “They 

had us up close and personal with the patients, which was really a 

great experience. It really helped me understand the different 

kinds of medicine.” 

 Along with answering the students’ medical questions, the 

mentors also introduced USU as a choice of possible medical 

schools, said Ryan Martin, a 12th grade student at Walter Johnson 

High School in Bethesda. 

 “The mentors followed us around and gave us advice on joining USU and the pros and cons of med school and what it’s like to 

be a doctor or a med student,” Ryan said. 

 The students said they enjoyed the hands-on experience they 

got in following the doctors, something they said they wouldn’t 

be able to experience without the S2M2 program. 

 “I really enjoyed learning some of the basic medical skills I 

wouldn’t have learned otherwise,” Ryan said. “It was really cool 

getting to do stitches. It was also neat seeing a brain up close and 

personal, actually mapping out where in the brain different things 

are controlled.” 

 Whether learning about various diseases of the body or the 

problems that can occur during childbirth, high school students 

have a lot to look forward to for next year’s S2M2.

Feature 

 The Uniformed Services University of the Health 

Sciences (USU) completed its second successful 

joint service exercise at Fort Indiantown Gap (FIG), 

Pa., July 21. 

The field exercises known as Operation Bushmaster and Operation Kerkesner are unique to 

USU’s medical school curriculum. This was the second year the exercises were held at the same time. 

Operation Kerkesner provides first-year medical 

students (MS-1) with the opportunity to train on 

basic service member skills that will enhance their 

ability to communicate and save patients on the 

battlefield. 

 “The fourth-year students gain so much from 

the first-year students. In the past, at Camp Bullis 

(Texas), we used privates from Fort Sam Houston 

(Texas) as the moulage casualties. This year the 

first-year students acted as the moulage patients 

and they added a sense of realism for the fourthyear students,” said Master Sgt. Peter Perkins. “The 

first-year students also gain from this because of 

the lessons learned from the fourth-year students. 

They should have a real good grasp of what is 

expected of them when they become fourth-year 

students.” 

Operation Bushmaster is the School of Medicine exercise that serves as the practical exam for 

the Military Contingency Medicine (MCM) course. 

Drawing from all available “lessons learned” from 

the current and operational environments, it simulates a military joint task force deployment during 

which the students must plan for and then provide 

all of the medical support for the mission. Students 

are evaluated on their ability to stabilize and treat 

combat casualties at the point of wounding and 

evacuate those casualties to higher levels of care 

with surgical support assets. They are also evaluated on their ability to provide routine care for 

non-battle related injuries and illnesses, to prevent 

illness through appropriate preventive medicine 

measures, and to provide screening and initial 

treatment for combat stress related problems. 

Military Contingency Medicine’s unique curriculum is specifically designed to prepare medical 

students to provide the highest quality health care 

for service members in austere environments. 

The operation takes place in the fictional country of Pandakar. The students participate in a variety of roles including litter bearing, security officer, 

ambulance platoon leader, radio operator, commander and senior medical officer. 

The exercise begins with the students being 

transported by CH-47 helicopters supplied by the 

Pennsylvania National Guard from the softball field 

behind USU to FIG. This flight emphasizes the challenges of providing health care during flight operations as the students experience the difficulty of 

obtaining vital signs on each other. 

Major Steven J. Currier, M.D., F.A.C.E.P., Army, 

assistant professor, MEM, MCM course director, 

said the students are tested on medical skills, judgment and leadership. Students must be aware of 

the culture in the country and understand the care 

of detainees and prisoners of war. They will even 

give the students illegal orders to see how they will 

respond. 

The students are assigned a role and they’re 

evaluated by the officer faculty and NCOs on their 

performance. 

Operation Kerkesner is designed to give the 

MS-1 students a feel of what it’s like to practice 

medicine in a military environment. The training 

consists of 12 lanes that are broken down into 

four-hour blocks of instruction. These training 

blocks take the students through a crawl, walk, run 

phase of training. 

All skills are basic service member skills chosen 

to assist them as future military physicians. The 

students go through four days of intense training, 

three lanes a day, for a total of 12 blocks of instruction. 

“I would like to congratulate all participants 

that contributed to making this year’s Operation 

Kerkesner and Operation Bushmaster a success,” 

said Capt. John Rumbaugh, Navy, brigade commander. “Without the strong leadership, expertise, 

and commitment of all involved, this evolution 

would not have been possible. This type of operational focus is the hallmark of USU.” 

“Beyond the obvious appreciation for the enormous planning these operations require, our visitors were uniformly in awe of our students, faculty 

and enlisted personnel supporting them,” said Dr. 

Larry Laughlin, dean USU School of Medicine. 

“They left with a deepened and special understanding of USU, its mission, its unique education, 

and the extraordinary importance of having health 

care practitioners who are able to operate in harsh 

and unpredictable environments.” 

Carol Scheman, vice president for External Affairs, said both media and senior government officials, who visited Operations Kerkesner and Bushmaster, were deeply impressed by the exercises. 

“Reporters were impressed by the poise and 

candor of everyone they interviewed,” Mrs. Scheman said. “It was clear that people at this university 

share a well understood, shared mission about 

which they feel passionate. Our colleagues from 

other federal departments, especially Department 

of Health and Human Services, spoke about the 

value of these exercises and the work that leads up 

to them.” 

Major Currier summed up why these exercises 

are necessary by saying, “Being a doctor in the 

military is not like being a doctor at Hershey Medical Center.”

 Staff members from the Uniformed Services 

University of the Health Sciences (USU) recently 

returned from supporting the Iraqi Assistance 

Group (IAG) in the Middle East for a year. 

 Army Staff Sgt. Michael Moore, brigade logistics 

NCO in-charge, Staff Sgt. Benjamin M. Fox, Department of Military and Emergency Medicine, brigade logistics supervisor and Army Sgt. Ryan 

Scofield, deployed to the Middle East from May 

2005 to May 2006. 

 The three were members of the newly 

formed IAG unit, in which everyone was either a 

volunteer or someone the Department of Defense 

deemed would better serve the mission in Iraq 

than in their current position, Sergeant Moore 

said. 

 Sergeant Moore was stationed on Camp Victory outside Baghdad and Camp Taji 30 miles 

north of Camp Victory while Sergeant Fox was 

stationed at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. 

 Sergeant Moore said that his job consisted of 

ensuring the IAG personnel had all of the supplies 

and equipment they needed to complete their 

missions. 

 “The IAG had approximately 220 ten-man 

teams (Military Transition Teams or MiTTs, Border 

Transition Teams or BTTs and Special Police Transition Teams or SPTTs) embedded with the Iraqi 

military whose job it was to train and “stand up” 

the Iraqi military to operate on their own,” Sergeant Moore said. “These teams were scattered 

throughout the Iraqi theater of operation. It was 

my section’s job to track and fill equipment shortages for all teams. I had the opportunity to travel 

all over Iraq and deliver equipment to the teams 

and see how they were living and what they were 

doing.” 

 Sergeant Fox said that his job was to inventory 

and ship new equipment for his unit, which was 

there to train and mentor the Iraqi Army and Police. 

 “By the time the year was finished, I signed for 

and inventoried more than $395 million worth of 

equipment which, of course, had to be inventoried thoroughly,” Sergeant Fox said. 

 The three service members all stated that having such a short notice between receiving their 

orders and their deployment date caused some 

concern. 

 “We received orders April 1, 2005, for the deployment start date of May 1, 2005,” Sergeant Fox 

said. “It was tough to get all of my affairs in order 

and prepare for a year absence from my wife. We 

supported each other very well throughout the 

year and right about the seven-month mark, I 

came home for rest and recuperation, and we 

went on a seven-night cruise to the Caribbean. 

We had a great time, especially knowing that we 

only had five more months to go before I came 

home for good.” 

 “It was a real shock, especially being stationed 

here,” Sergeant Moore added. “For work, Staff Sgt. 

Robert Cabrera assumed all of the duties, and he 

did an excellent job while I was gone. As for my 

family, my wife is also in the Army, so she understood and dealt with it rather well. I have three 

children, nine, six and 14 months. Jenna (9) was a 

real trooper and accepted that it was part of the 

job. Kyra (6) had a real problem with me leaving 

and didn’t understand why I had to go. My 

youngest was just born, so it was hard for me to 

leave, but when I got back he took to me pretty 

easily and now we are two peas in a pod.”
