The students got to practice medical care on their mac patients, while the C17 was still in flight. As one student says. "Feeling the movement & the sways while being on board gets me ready. I was surprised on how similar it was to a real world scenario and how difficult it is for communication with your crew members and teammates. Be open to anything and play trial and error as you go. This way is a perfect way to train for a real life scenario".
Training like this is especially important in the pacific theater. These doctors may fly off to far away secluded areas in the world & deal with a heavy range of injuries. Hurricane... or what is called in the far east, a "tsunami" can affect those patients and the doctors can help by bringing care on board the air ambulance.
