Dr. Chung is a critical care physician and Chair of Medicine at Uniformed Services University in Bethesda, Maryland.
In this episode he discusses the role of critical care physicians on the battlefield and how his military career in burn medicine and critical care helped innovate battlefield care. He tells the story of how the death of six critically ill combat burn patients spurred an entire systemic change in how we manage combat evacuations and the many lives that have been saved because of it. This led to the burn clinical practice guidelines that are still used to this day. He describes why the Uniformed Services University is an important part of our medical system and it is critical to equipping physicians for military careers.
