Only peer-reviewed journal that transcends military and TEMS operating in a tactical environment! Current info that saves lives on the battlefield, whether overseas or in our own backyard. The most popular journal in tactical, operational, & medicine!
The quarterly peer-reviewed Journal of Special Operations Medicine (JSOM) was founded in 2000 by the United States Special Operations Command as a tool to promote education among all SOF medical personnel. Since that time, the JSOM has become an integral part of SOF medicine and is the preeminent journal for SOF medical personnel. The JSOM is the only medical journal that specifically addresses the SOF medical professional’s work and concerns, and allows a forum for universal SOF contribution and discussion. The ability to identify, propose, and debate issues through professional writing is invaluable to SOF medicine worldwide. The JSOM provides vital, current information that saves lives on the battleField. It is one of the most practical and popular journals in tactical, operational, and clinical medicine. The JSOM updates the current medical providers on new trends in the Field of Special Operations medical care and equipment.
The JSOM is the only published venue that brings military SOF, civilian Tactical EMS, and governmental agencies with tactical medical assets together in one forum to promote the sharing of knowledge of the very unique trade craft they have trained so hard to be proficient at. It provides invaluable, current information that saves lives on the battlefield, weather overseas or urban. Many host nation military and civilians also benefit from the diffusion of medical knowledge that the JSOM imparts.
The JSOM transitioned to the private sector and is now being published by Breakaway Media, LLC starting with the Spring 2011 issue.
The Journal of Special Operations Medicine (JSOM) is the official journal of the Special Operations Medical Association (SOMA). We will continue to provide the same high quality peer-reviewed journal everyone has come to laud. The JSOM transcends the boundary between military and civilian medicine by bringing forth practical and sensible ideas and techniques to the SOF medical and the Civilian TEMS provider currently operating in a Law Enforcement environment
