Within the training framework, it is your responsibility—either individually or together with other colleagues—to plan, implement, evaluate, and develop the medical service training.
Your role during training could be either as an educator/instructor or as a course director. Other responsibilities include regularly supporting the Southern Military Region with the management of medications intended for war units.
