Military Medicine Minute

The Friends of USU, working in collaboration with USU Professor Emeritus Dr. Dale Smith, Humana Military, and WMAL Radio, have launched, "Military Medicine Minute", a series of one-minute radio spots highlighting the achievements of military medicine.  The segments are aired Monday through Friday at 7:30 a.m. on WMAL 105.9 FM (or online). A new spot will air each week (each spot repeats throughout the week, and then changes to a new one the following week).

 

The Department of Military and Emergency Medicine in collaboration with the National Center for Disaster Medicine and Public Health, and the Center for Global Health Engagement will be hosting the DoD Response to Mass Casualties Symposium, February 26-27, 2025 in Bethesda, MD.

 

What We Do

MEM is responsible for most of the military-unique education and training across four years of medical school.

Education
