The Defense Department is looking for input from the enlisted medical community as it sets up a new Web portal that will enable medics and corpsmen to share lessons learned and suggest ways to improve patient care.

The portal will provide a forum for the estimated 80,000 enlisted medical professionals to exchange insights as they share experience and expertise, Dr. Michael E. Kilpatrick, director of strategic communications for the Military Health System, said today during an interview with the Pentagon Channel and American Forces Press Service. The site will serve enlisted active-duty and reserve-component members of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard. Navy corpsmen serve the Marine Corps.
