The current study reports career accomplishments of Uniformed Services University (USU) graduates in four areas: (1) positions held over the course of their entire career, (2) military awards, decorations, and rank, (3) first residency completed, and (4) academic achievements.
Utilizing the responses to the alumni survey sent to USU graduates in the Class 1980 to 2017, we extracted relevant data and reported descriptive statistics.
1,848 out of 4,469 responded to the survey (41%). 86% (n = 1,574) of respondents indicated having served as a full-time clinician (seeing patients at least 70% of the time during a typical week), while many of them serve in leadership such as educational, operational, or command leadership roles. 87% (n = 1,579) of respondents are ranked from O-4 to O-6, and 64% (n = 1,169) of the respondents received a military award or medal. Family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics were the most chosen medical specialties, which is similar to the national patterns reported by AAMC. 45% (n = 781) held an academic appointment.
USU graduates continue to make significant contributions to military medicine. USU graduates' medical specialty preferences are similar to the past, which calls for further investigation to identify driving factors on such preference.
本研究报告了 1980 年至 2017 年期间毕业于美国武装部队大学（USU）的毕业生在四个领域的职业成就：（1）整个职业生涯中担任的职务；（2）军事奖项、勋章和军衔；（3）完成的第一个 residency；（4）学术成就。
利用对 1980 年至 2017 年期间毕业的 USU 毕业生进行的校友调查的回应，我们提取了相关数据并报告了描述性统计数据。
在 4469 名回应调查的毕业生中，有 1848 人（41%）。86%（n=1574）的受访者表示曾担任全职临床医生（在典型一周内至少有 70%的时间看诊），而其中许多人担任领导职务，如教育、运营或指挥领导角色。87%（n=1579）的受访者的军衔为 O-4 至 O-6，64%（n=1169）的受访者获得了军事奖项或勋章。家庭医学、内科和儿科是最受欢迎的医学专业，这与 AAMC 报告的全国模式相似。45%（n=781）拥有学术任命。
USU 毕业生继续为军队医学做出重大贡献。USU 毕业生的医学专业偏好与过去相似，这需要进一步调查以确定这种偏好的驱动因素。
