Our Mission

The Operational Medicine Institute (OMI) provides critical mission support and training to medical personnel, humanitarians, first responders, and disaster response teams serving on humanity's frontiers. The four pillars of OMI– humanitarian intervention, disaster preparedness and response, operational medical support and unconventional diplomacy–are designed to capture the increasingly interwoven nature of complex humanitarian emergencies.

The core values of The Operational Medicine Institute reflect:

A respect for human rights
The societal responsibility of the strong to defend the weak
A commitment to the advancement of science and art of healing
An openness to diversity in thought and innovation in practice
