Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences 
The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences was created by Congress via the Health Professions Revitalization Act of 1972. The shortage of military physicians at the close of the Vietnam conflict, which heralded the beginning of the "All Volunteer Force", was responsible for engendering the 1972 legislation; nonetheless, Congressman F. Edward Hebert envisioned the University to be much more than a recruitment vehicle for physicians. Rather, his vision was the establishment of the academic health center for the military. In addition to providing top quality military medical education and training programs, the school plays a significant role in medical research and consultation within and beyond the military community.
