Changes made to pre-deployment medical clearance Published Feb. 2, 2011 By Airmen 1st Class Keith Debose and Marcus Miller 5th Medical Operations Squadron MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. -- Air Force Global Strike Command and Team Minot Airmen will be able to complete their medical clearance for deployment through a new web-based process starting Feb. 1. The new system is a web-based Preventive Health Assessment Individual Medical Readiness program called the Deployment Medical Clearance program. The new system aims to simplify the deployment process by making it as customer-friendly as possible. It will allow the medical group personnel to communicate with unit deployment managers without having to necessarily see the deployer face-to-face. This new program is expected to cut down the number of visits Airmen make to the clinic as well as give unit deployment managers instant updates on the deployers online. This will greatly reduce the amount of time spent on the phone between various agencies. The first change, implemented Dec. 1, 2010, was the pre-deployment health assessment, DD Form 2795. This is now electronic and initiates the deployment resiliency assessment. The DRA was implemented to address possible health concerns directly with a medical provider prior to departure. The new system may be accessed at www.afchips.brooks.af.mil/dmc. For more information please contact the public health office at 723-5408 or 723-5204.
