What is the Military College of Surgeons, USA?

Hi all, I stumbled across something called the 'Military College of Surgeons, USA'. I couldn't find much info online. Is it a legit institution? And if so, what kind of programs do they offer?

It seems there might be a bit of confusion here as there isn't an institution titled 'Military College of Surgeons, USA.'

However, there are similar institutions that might be what you're referring to. The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, for instance, is a postgraduate health science university run by the U.S federal government that trains officers for the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps and the United States Armed Forces'. It has a medical school, the F. Edward Hébert School of Medicine, that comes closest to what you might be referring to as a 'military college of surgeons'.

Moreover, there's the 'American College of Surgeons', a scientific and educational association which provides standards of practice and advocacy for patient care within the field of surgery, but it is not affiliated with the U.S military.

Cross-check any information you come across, and if you're interested in having a career in military medicine, you might want to consider exploring programs at the Uniformed Services University or check out the Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) and the Uniformed Services University (USUHS) program, which are provided by the U.S. Army.
