Did you know that we take part in a project that creates an online collection of scenarios for training and research in military medical ethics?
The aim of this MME scenario collection is to provide deploying military medical personnel and those who organise trainging and education with a tool to better prepare for future missions. In order to do so, we collect and make available cases, experiences, reports, and scenarios in a neutral database. In order for the colletion to grow, we hope that we can convince those returning from missions to (anonymously or not) contribute their experiences and share it with others.
- Access the MME Scenario Collection via https://scenarios.militarymedicalethics.ch
If you want to learn more, the International Review of the Armed Forces Medical Services has published an article that describes the MME Scenario Collection. You can read the article online via the following links:

We are pleased to announce that the volume Ethical challenges for military health care personnel in the context of epidemics is now published. It collects the contributions to our 5th Workshop on Military Medical Ethics and is available in the Military and Defence Ethics series at Routledge/London.
The contributions in this volume provide first-hand insights into some of the ethical issues encountered by military health care personnel in missions during the Ebola outbreak in 2014/2015. This practical perspective is complimented by academic analyses and theoretical reflections on ethical issues associated with epidemics.
