ABSTRACT
Introduction and objective: The current geopolitical situation and ongoing international armed conflicts prompt reflection on the adequacy of medical personnel’s preparedness, particularly in the context of their potential involvement in an actual armed confrontation. For this reason, we sought to assess the competencies of medical interns – individuals at the outset of their professional careers who have most recently completed the current medical curriculum. Material and methods: For this purpose, we have prepared a form consisting of 10 closed single-choice questions to assess the knowledge of the procedures developed by the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) Committee. Results: The mean score obtained by interns was less than 30% of correct answers. Additionally, we were able to identify the areas posing the greatest difficulty for respondents, such as antibiotic therapy and haemorrhage taming. Conclusions: We recommend considering an expansion of the medical curriculum to include content related to TCCC, as well as drawing on international experience to explore opportunities for collaborative training.
