Center for Deployment Psychology

The Center for Deployment Psychology's mission is to prepare health care professionals to better meet the deployment-related emotional and psychological needs of military personnel and their families. More than two million service members have deployed during the conflicts overseas, including many who have deployed multiple times. To meet its mission, the Center -- which is headquartered at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences -- trains health care professionals through live presentations, online learning resources, ongoing consultation and state-of-the-art education, coordinating activities across a nationwide network of training sites at 11 military medical centers.
