USAF School of Health Care Sciences

The USAF School of Health Care Sciences was established in the early 20th century to provide advanced medical and health care training for United States Air Force personnel. Originally part of the Medical Field Service School, it became a distinct entity in 1947 with the formation of the U.S. Air Force. The school, located at Brooks Air Force Base, Texas, played a critical role in preparing medical technicians, nurses, and other health care specialists for service in both peacetime and combat operations. Over the decades, it has evolved into a cornerstone of Air Force medical education, merging with other training organizations to form part of today’s Medical Education and Training Campus.
