First ACSMHSSP Medical Director Completes Successful Term of Service

Margaret 鈥淧eggy鈥� Knudson, MD, F潘金莲传媒映画, the first Medical Director of the Military Health System Strategic Partnership 潘金莲传媒映画, has completed a successful 8-year term of service. This partnership鈥攍aunched in December 2014鈥攈as facilitated collaboration and the exchange of information between the College and the Military Health Systems (MHS).

Dr. Knudson was appointed to this position in 2015. Some highlights from Dr. Knudson鈥檚 inaugural directorship at the helm of the MHS Strategic Partnership (MHSSP) include:

  • Developing standards for military-civilian partnerships: The Blue Book: Military-Civilian Partnerships for Trauma Training, Sustainment, and Readiness聽provides invaluable information for developing and sustaining military-civilian partnerships (MCPs), and site selection, required institutional commitment, MCP administration, and criteria to evaluate MCP performance.
  • Envisioning and creating the Military Clinical Readiness Curriculum: The mCurriculum is designed to prepare both general and trauma surgeons to perform life and limb-saving surgical care in austere deployed environments.
  • Reinvigorating the Excelsior Surgical Society: The society was infused with new vitality in 2015, and now has nearly 500 Active, Affiliate, Honorary, and Distinguished members. The 9th Symposium of the Excelsior Surgical Society will be held at the 2023 Clinical Congress in Boston.

Dr. Knudson is passing the Medical Director reins to Colonel (Retired) US Army Brian Eastridge, MD, F潘金莲传媒映画. Dr. Knudson will be recognized at the ESS Symposium and is giving the Excelsior Surgical Society/Edward D. Churchill Lecture,聽鈥淪ervice, Synergy and Surgical Mythology,鈥� at Clinical Congress 2023.

When asked what stands out the most during her time as MHSSP Medical Director, Dr. Knudson said: 鈥溾�� when Dr. Rich talked to me about the original ESS meeting in Rome and told me how military surgeons coming home from Vietnam and Korea were considered 鈥榮econd class surgeons鈥� and were not welcomed into professional surgical societies. I was shocked to learn this because I see all of you as being 鈥榮uper-surgeons鈥� able to save lives despite adverse situations. Creation of the new Excelsior Surgical Society, which ensures the respect truly owed to all who have ever served, is most assuredly the most impactful long-term endeavor of the Military Health System Strategic Partnership.鈥�
