2006 Report-Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences

Abstract

The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) was chartered in 1972 by an Act of Congress, as envisioned by Congressman F. Edward Hebert (D-LA). The medical school, later named for Congressman Hebert, opened in 1976 and the Graduate School of Nursing was added in 1993. USU is the nation's military medical academy, with missions that include the accession of fully qualified officers into the medical departments of the uniformed services, the building of a cadre of career officers to provide much of the future senior leadership of the uniformed services health activities and the generation of new knowledge, particularly related to the care of those who go into harm's way on behalf of the nation.
