2003 GRADUATES
The Warfighter Advance™ ADVANCE 7-Day concept was developed by Mary Neal Vieten, Ph.D., ABPP, CDR, Medical Service Corps, USN(rc). It began in 2003 at Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico. The program’s early outcomes were published in Navy Medicine (October 2004), and presented at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association in 2005.

She is a nationally recognized expert on post-traumatic stress and has worked as a consultant to a wide range of military, law enforcement, and industry organizations, as well as with hundreds of individuals who have sought her professional support and subject matter expertise.
