BG Teyhen's reflections on her mentors and key career moments vividly depict what it takes to achieve a historic promotion within the Army Specialist Corps.

 



A central theme in this episode is the balance between risk to force and risk to mission in Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO). BG Teyhen illuminates the importance of the SP Corps in ensuring timely care and building trust within units to prevent long-term disabilities and maintain operational effectiveness.

 

Moreover, BG Teyhen tackles the challenging topic of burnout in the healthcare profession, offering sage advice on how leaders can rejuvenate the joy and soul of medicine. She urges the necessity of creating supportive environments where medical staff can thrive and preventive care is prioritized.

 

In her final reflections, BG Teyhen encourages young medical professionals to stay grounded in their purpose and "why" as they navigate the unique career pathways in Army medicine. Her words are a guiding light for those considering the noble pursuit of serving their country through military healthcare.
