AMEDD Center & School

The AMEDD Center & School, now known as the U.S. Army Medical Center of Excellence (MEDCoE), traces its origins to 1920 when it was established at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. Its mission was to provide medical training and professional education for Army medical personnel. Relocated to Fort Sam Houston, Texas, after World War II, the Center & School expanded its curriculum to meet the evolving needs of Army Medicine. Today, it serves as the premier institution for training Army medics, nurses, and medical officers, ensuring the readiness and effectiveness of the Army Medical Department (AMEDD) worldwide.
