F. Edward Hébert School of Medicine

The F. Edward Hébert School of Medicine has a year-round, four-year curriculum. This curriculum is nearly 700 hours longer than found at other U.S. medical schools. These extra hours focus on epidemiology, health promotion, disease prevention, tropical medicine, leadership and field exercises, and other subjects that relate to the unique requirements of career-oriented military physicians. Of the 3,912 physician alumni, over 75 percent currently serve on active duty in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and U.S. Public Health Service.
 
Doctoral and masters degrees in the biomedical sciences and public health are awarded by interdisciplinary and department-based graduate programs within the School of Medicine. Program strengths include infectious disease, neuroscience, psychology and preventive medicine research. A large number of graduates are military officers and/or serve the federal biomedical research enterprise.
