Amsus(Hk)Limited

AMSUS, the Society of the Federal Health Agencies, was founded in 1891 and chartered by Congress in 1903. The name of this organization, the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States, is historically significant but the literal wording of its title does not cover its current full mission of advancing all aspects of federal medicine. It was originally a membership organization for surgeons and physicians. However, AMSUS is now comprised of professionals serving in the full spectrum of healthcare disciplines in the US Army, US Navy, US Air Force, US Public Health Service, Department of Veterans Affairs, US Army Reserve, US Navy Reserve, US Air Force Reserve, Army National Guard, Air National Guard, and the Coast Guard. More than 9,000 members count on AMSUS to provide them with up-to-date information and services.

Each fall AMSUS holds their Annual Meeting, a major educational conference for members and others interested in the medical and health related activities of the military and federal health agencies. In addition to U.S. participants, the Annual Meeting is attended by international delegates from around the globe. The senior executives from the military and federal health agencies support and attend this conference.

A significant AMSUS member benefit is a subscription to Military Medicine, the Association? official monthly journal featuring peer-reviewed scientific papers, case reports, and editorials, including international submissions. First published in 1892 as The Military Surgeon, Military Medicine is a valuable educational and informational resource for AMSUS members as well as other federal health professionals.
