IDMT Spotlight

Filed Under AFMS People 

I’ve written about IDMTs before, and here’s another example of an IDMT in action - in a war zone.

Air Force Tech. Sgt. Joy Flumerfelt, a squadron medical element/independent medical technician, deployed here from the 336th Fighter Squadron, Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, N.C., is currently working with the 336th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron.

Although her main concern is the care of deployed servicemembers, she also provides medical support to local communities. Since arriving here a little more than a month ago, she has treated nearly 100 villagers.

“We (independent medical technicians) function as providers, so we can practice medicine to a greater degree than medics can,” Flumerfelt said.

Kudos to TSgt Flumerfelt - and all of her IDMT brothers and sisters.
