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.
