Education and Training
CHSR educates outstanding health professionals, leaders, scientists, and administrators to meet the needs of the DoD, the MHS, the Public Health Services (PHS), and the Warfighter in support of effective, efficient quality healthcare. We design, sustain, and modify curricula, both on campus and at military training locations, which are:

- State-of-the-art, leveraging and developing advanced educational methodologies including distributed-learning, integrated teaching, simulations and simulators-blended with proven health education systems
- Competitive and stimulating, drawing the best and brightest to USU to prepare for a health career in the field of HSR
