CoE-Prostate Cancer Center of Excellence (USUHS)
Abstract
The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences’ (USUHS), Prostate Cancer Center of Excellence (CoE), formerly a Congressionally enacted program (Public Law 102-172 1991) was chartered to conduct state-of-the-art clinical and translational research with emphasis on precision medicine. In essence, the goal is to enhance the readiness of active duty personnel juxtaposed with the continuum of medical care for military retirees and beneficiaries. The CPDR enriches the training of the next generation of physicians/scientists who directly benefit the quality, outcomes, and stability of the military health care delivery system. The program’s mission is fulfilled primarily through its three principal programs-the Clinical Translational Research, the Basic Science Research and the Tri-Service Multicenter Database which includes five participating military medical centers. The CPDR has been conducting patient centric cutting - edge translational research to improve the management of all stages of prostate cancer for over 23 years as recognized by nearly 450 scientific publications. The CPDR is also committed to the research training of the next generation of DoD physicians and scientists (USU medical /graduate students and Walter Reed/USU residents). Many of the trainees are now service chiefs and program directors in prestigious military and civilian medical centers
