No two medical schools are the same. From one school to another, differences abound: in values, missions, goals, expectations of their students, and learning environment, including unique elements or traditions that define them. This month, we are highlighting the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences F. Edward Hébert School of Medicine (USU). Aaron Saguil, dean of admissions, describes what it's like to attend the school and participate in the capstone course, Operation Bushmaster.

For Dr. Acosta, becoming a doctor was something he knew he wanted to be even as a child. But getting there wasn't always easy.

In this article, he reflects on those special people and how they supported his journey.



Dr. Acosta currently serves as the AAMC's chief diversity and inclusion officer.
