MEDCoE (US Army Medical Center of Excellence)

Happy Anniversary to the U.S. Army Nurse Corps! For 125 years their professionalism, compassion and bravery has defined their service to both their nation and every patient under their care. Thank you Maj. Christina Kim and retired Army Col. Nancy Molter for talking to us today! 🎥 by Bryan Lunn #ArmyNurseCorps #ArmyNurseCorps125

We were grateful and honored to host Brigadier General Roger Giraud, Chief of the Medical Service Corps and proud Army-Baylor alumnus, for a visit with the Army-Baylor MHA/MBA Program. Our faculty had the opportunity to share how we continue to create value for military medicine through what we teach, the projects we lead, and the professional roles we serve across the federal health space. We discussed how we prepare our students to think critically, lead confidently, and drive meaningful change in complex healthcare environments. After meeting with faculty, BG Giraud spent time with our students, sharing wisdom and guidance drawn from his own leadership journey and experiences across military medicine. His perspective reinforced the connection between what students are learning today and the realities they will lead in tomorrow. Army-Baylor graduates are integral to the effectiveness and efficiency of military medicine. We work to conserve the fighting strength and our students and residents will lead us into the future fight. So that others may live. Thank you for your time and support, sir. Sic ’em, Bears!
