The exhibit: Building on the Past: Military Medicine for the 21st Century, now on display at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine is an example of the continuing educational partnership between the NMCWM and the USAMRMC. The partnership allows both institutions to develop programs and exhibits that engage diverse audiences. The exhibit reveals how the early development of military medicine during the Civil War paved the way for the research of innovative methods for delivering medical care to the battlefield and to the homeland. The exhibit underscores the many contributions the USAMRMC has made to the military and private sector medical community. The exhibit highlights how the operations of Fort Detrick and the National Museum of Civil War Medicine are important parts of the Frederick community.
