Last December, Team TATRC had the opportunity to assemble in what is soon to become TATRC’s *NEW* Technology Comparative Effectiveness Lab for the latest Quarterly Director’s Town Hall meeting! A lot of hard work has been done and progress is being made for the future of our organization, and with progress comes change! The Town Hall provided an excellent opportunity for TATRC’s Director, COL Jeremy Pamplin, to bring the team up to speed on the latest organizational happenings and to highlight the recent achievements.

The meeting opened with a special addition to the agenda, as COL Pamplin presented Dr. Loretta Schlachta-Fairchild, who served as Coordinator of Medical Simulation and Information Sciences (MSIS) at Joint Program Committee-1 (JPC-1), and who retired at the end of 2019, with a special Director’s Coin for all the dedicated work and remarkable achievements she’s accomplished throughout her career in support of advancing Military Medicine in support of the Warfighter!

The focus then shifted back to TATRC-related business, where we were able to cover quite a lot of ground, including a look back at what has been a very dynamic and metamorphic year for the organization, to include our new mission, our organizational restructuring, rebranding and strategic messaging, as well as an optimistic look at the road ahead and our goals for 2020!

As COL Pamplin stated, “We are in a good position, not only to exist, but to start to expand.”

Thanks to the hard work being put in across the board, by our entire staff and leadership, as we are poised to grow and become more effective and impactful than ever in this new age of military medical technology!
