History
AMSUS, The Society of Federal Health Professionals, is a non-profit (501c3) professional association for all U.S. federal health professionals serving in the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Health and Human Services, and Department of Homeland Security. It was originally known as the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States. The name was changed to reflect that membership is open to all federal health professionals: physicians, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, psychologists, dentists, optometrists, social workers, other allied healthcare professionals, and healthcare executives. Executive Advisory council
As part of AMSUS’ Congressional Charter, an advisory group to AMSUS was created to provide leadership and knowledge to AMSUS and its members. Today that group is known as the Executive Advisory Council. Members of this group, as well as an appointed President of AMSUS, are drawn from the following federal positions: The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs; the Assistant Secretary for Health, US Department of Health and Human Services; the Chief Medical Officer, Department of Homeland Security; the Under Secretary for Health of the Department of Veterans Affairs; the Assistant Under Secretary for Health for Clinical Services and Chief Medical Officer, VHA, Department of Veterans Affairs; the President of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences; the Surgeons General of the Army, the Navy, the Air Force and Space Force, and the Public Health Service; the Director of the Defense Health Agency; the Department of Defense Joint Staff Surgeon; and the Chief Medical Officer, United States Coast Guard.
