About Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences F. Edward Hebert School of Medicine

Overview​

Uniformed Science University of the Health Sciences F. Edward Hébert School of Medicine is a 4-year MD-granting program. It is the only federal medical school in the U.S., offering a free medical education in turn for years of dedicated service. USUHS has a curriculum addressing the challenges of military medicine. Under the “Molecules to Military Medicine” curriculum, students work to bring together basic and clinical sciences, with earlier clinical rotations than at other schools. USUHS also requires a Capstone project to promote self-discovery.

The F. Edward Hébert School of Medicine is the Nation’s federal school of medicine and is committed to excellence in military medicine and public health during periods of peace and war. We provide the Nation with health professionals dedicated to career service in the Department of Defense and the United States Public Health Service and with scientists who serve the common good. We serve the uniformed services and the Nation as a premier school of medicine with a worldwide perspective for education, research, service, and consultation; we are unique in relating these activities to military medicine, disaster medicine, and military medical readiness.

The F. Edward Hébert School of Medicine is the Nation’s medical school, recognized as the leader in the education of physicians and scientists to care for those in harm’s way in a rapidly evolving global frontier.
