Methodology

This one-week course is comprised of lectures and syndicate work. Day 1 provides a broad overview of NATO structures focusing on medical support including an introduction to NATO Intelligence. Day 2 focuses on introducing the NATO intelligence cycle and how medical intelligence contributes to it and uses this process while collecting data. Day 3 concentrates on processing medical intelligence data with an academic and a practical focus. Days 4 and 5 are syndicate focussed with emphasis on developing and presenting medical intelligence products to a commander of a proposed joint multinational operation.

Further Information

Medical intelligence is a crucial element of medical support and has undergone considerable changes. NATO’s concept of joint and multinational missions and NATO’s ability to respond outside of traditional areas of operation (whenever and wherever) has added to a growing importance attached to (medical) force protection. This has led to increased demands for comprehensive, integrated, timely, and cohesive medical intelligence. Medical Intelligence training within NATO is not covered by any other NATO course.
