Air Force Medical Service

Mission:

Design and execute proactive programs to successfully counter physiological and human performance threats, to enhance health and safety, and maximize war-fighter readiness and combat effectiveness.

Services:

• Refresher hypoxia training using the ROBD (Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device)
• Instrument Refresher Course for Aviators
• ACCES (Attenuating Custom Communications Earpiece System) mold pouring
• Fatigue education and evaluation using FAST (Fatigue Avoidance Schedule Tool)
• Maintenance Resource Management training for MXG

• Human Factors training for all base personnel. Various human factors affect judgment and/or decision making, which can lead to simple errors, increased or duplicated workloads, mishaps, or even death. Enhancing human performance begins on a physiological level, and performance is degraded by environmental and work-related stressors such as:
  • Sleep and Sleep Loss Crossing Time Zones
  • Heat Stress Communications Problems
  • Situational Awareness Shift Work
  • Risk Management Night Shifts and Night Vision
  • Complacency and Inattention Diet, Nutrition, and Fitness

Our Aerospace & Operational Physiology Training (AOPT) program seeks to bolster squadron/unit mission readiness by reducing potential hazards, errors, and mishaps. We can provide one time or recurring briefing support on human factors-related issues or other applicable topics upon request. We can offer a 5-10 minute mini course appropriate for safety meetings and commander's calls.

Mission:

Preventing Disease, Disability, and Premature Death

The Referral Management Center (RMC) is where patients go to process specialty referrals requested by their referring provider. The RMC can help set your Military Treatment Facility (MTF) specialty appointment. We can also help coordinate your off-site network provider if necessary. Additionally, the RMC can advise on health care benefits and review referrals.

Important Notes:

If you have been "referred" by your Primary Care Manager, before leaving the clinic, please stop by the RMC. The RMC can assist with appointing you to an MTF specialty clinic for your initial visit. All follow-up appointments to the MTF sub-specialty clinic will be coordinated with that clinic and not the RMC.

If care cannot be provided on base, the RMC will defer you to our one of our TRICARE United Health Care: Military & Veterans specialist medical provider. All routine network referrals have an expiration date, so please set your initial appointment before the referral time period ends. The RMC cannot "renew", "modify", or "delete" an unused, unwanted, or expired referral. All expired referrals must be "renewed" by calling the appointment line at 208-828-7900 and following the tree to your assigned Family Health Clinic and leaving a T-Con for your PCM team.

Duty Hours: For care considered Urgent, please call the 208-828-7900 line for same day appointments to the MTF clinics. If an appointment cannot be made to the MTF, please visit our 24 hour Urgent Care Center located at the back side of the 366th Medical Group.

Non-Duty Hours: Please call the appointment line at 208-828-7900 and speak to the Nurse Advice Line. You can also visit our 24 hour Urgent Care Center located at the back side of the 366th Medical Group.
