Which organization sets the standards for training and certification of hospital corpsmen?

The Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) is the organization responsible for establishing training and certification standards for hospital corpsmen within the U.S. Navy. BUMED oversees the medical corps’ training programs, ensuring that hospital corpsmen are adequately prepared to provide medical support and care. This includes developing curriculum guidelines, accrediting training programs, and ensuring that personnel meet the required qualifications to perform effectively in their roles.

The other organizations listed do not have a primary focus on military medical training or the specific certification of hospital corpsmen. The American Medical Association is primarily concerned with the broader medical profession and does not regulate military medical training. The National Health Service provides healthcare in the UK and is not involved in the U.S. military medical training system. The World Health Organization focuses on international public health issues and does not set standards for military medical training or certification.
