US Air Force Independent Duty Medical Technician (IDMT), Medical and Dental Treatment Protocols, Ed 2.3 Handbook is a resource for Air Force IDMT medical personnel with advanced skills and knowledge. Published in 2021, these protocols are the product of a concerted effort by representatives from all major command surgeons offices with the express goal to standardize the care IDMTs are permitted to provide regardless of location and command affiliation. These protocols clearly define the scope of care parameters that the IDMT is expected and trained to work within. These treatment protocols are designed as a guide to accepted step-by-step treatments for medical disorders that may be encountered by IDMTs in the field.
