MEDCoE

The U.S. Army Medical Center of Excellence, or MEDCoE, is located at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and is the Army Medicine proponent responsible to envision and design responsive Army Medicine capabilities and structure that support the fielded force and the future force. We develop adaptive medical doctrine that supports Army and Joint Force operational requirements. As one of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command’s 10 Centers of Excellence, the Army relies upon MEDCoE to train, educate and inspire all of its medical personnel. Army Medicine Starts Here! We ensure that Army Medicine is ready today “To Conserve Fighting Strength,” so that Soldiers are able to win our nation’s wars and come home safely. MEDCoE creates the highest standards of achievement in medical expertise by generating synergy through effective and efficient combination and integration of functions while reinforcing the unique requirements and capabilities of the Army Medical Department.

MEDCoE develops medical professionals, integrates medical capabilities, and drives change in Army Medicine to enable the Joint Force to win the Nation’s wars.

To be the foundation on which Army Medicine is built, sustained and transformed.
