Executive Navy Medical Readiness Training Course – Medical Planners’ Toolkit (MPTk) & Joint Medical Planning Tool (JMPT)

Posted on July 10, 2022 Updated on July 10, 2022

Course Description

This course is a one-day virtual training to present an executive overview of two medical modeling tools: the Medical Planners’ Toolkit (MPTK) and the Joint Medical Planning Tool (JMPT). This course will give an overview of how these tools are being used throughout the Department of Defense, provide an understanding of their importance to Navy Medicine, and provide guidance on how to interpret their outputs.

Attendees will gain exposure to both MPTk and JMPT and see examples of how the tools have been used to model problem sets within the Navy and the Marine Corps. Upon completion, attendees will have a broad understanding of:

·         the process, inputs, and outputs used in medical modeling and casualty estimation.

·         the types of problems MPTk and JMPT can help model.

·         the data requirements needed to generate a good product with MPTk and JMPT.

·         the outputs, reports, and information that can be generated from MPTk and JMPT.

This class is targeted towards senior medical personnel working with or within operational units. Some experience with operational medical planning is preferred, but not required. Attendees of this course should not expect in-depth training on MPTk or JMPT. Individuals who are interested in in-depth training and becoming authorized users of MPTk should enroll in the Navy Medical Readiness Training (MPTk).

This course is informational only and completion is not reflected in attendees personnel records (service school). There are no CME/CEU credits offered for this course. This course does not satisfy any of the requirements for completion of the Joint Medical Planning Tool (JMPT) Course, facilitated by the Defense Medical Readiness Training Institute (DMRTI).
