Celebrating 50 Years
The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its founding this year. The university, which now boasts more than 11,000 alumni, started originally with the School of Medicine and just 32 students. Over the years, USU has grown into a valuable national asset, with four schools that provide thousands of students uniquely educated to care for our nation’s service members on and off the battlefield. USU scientists conduct research that supports the readiness mission of the Department of Defense, and its centers, programs and initiatives undertake a variety of research, training and education efforts to deliver an array of knowledge and material products on identified gaps in the Military Health System.
