3 FORT DETRICK, Md. The U.S. Army is making it easier for medical maintainers to train and affirm their abilities as subject-matter experts in their field.
As of April 1, Soldiers working as biomedical equipment specialists, known by the military occupational specialty code 68A, can now enroll in several types of job-related training with no out-of-pocket expense.
“For many years, Soldiers had to request training through their unit and see if the unit would pay for it,” Master Sgt. Wesley Ladlee said. “Now, Soldiers can just go in, click a few buttons and they’re funded for their test.”
Seeing an opportunity to improve the training process, Sgt. 1st Class Jaime Sanchez worked with the Army’s training partner the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation, or AAMI to secure an agreement to become a recognized vendor through the new ArmyIgnitED credentialing program.
