Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Courtney Smith instructs hospital corpsmen during the Sick Call Screener Course (SCSC) at Naval Medical Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Twentynine Palms on Feb. 12, 2025. The course, developed by NMRTC Twentynine Palms leadership, enhances medical proficiency by training corpsmen to triage and evaluate acute patients under provider supervision. By implementing the SCSC, the Adult Medical Care Clinic (AMCC) has significantly improved access to care, reducing appointment wait times from six weeks to seven days and ensuring Marines receive timely medical attention to maintain operational readiness (U.S. Navy photo by Christopher C.
