Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress Annual Report 2017

Abstract

In this our thirtieth year, it is valuable to recall the structure and role of the Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress (CSTS). CSTS is a core part of the Department of Psychiatry in the F. Edward Hbert School of Medicine (Americas Medical School) of the Uniformed Services University (USU). The Center actively supports the Strategic Framework and mission of USU, as well as the Military Health System, and the broader mission of the Department of Defense (DoD).Through leadership, education and training, research and scholarship, service and outreach, global health engagement, and enhancing preparedness, CSTS strives to mitigate the impact of trauma from exposure to war, disasters, terrorism, community violence and public health threats. In accomplishing our mission, we sustain national readiness, enhance national security, and serve an essential role for the Department of Defense and the nation.
