Active USAF Medical Service Corps (MSC)
Overview
Inspiration
Diversity
While initially established as an organization of retired Air Force MSC officers, bylaws amendments have opened the association to active duty and Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard MSCs. Because of the increased number of members from the USAFR and ANG, makeupof the Board of Directors includes an officer from these groups.
The bylaws were again amended to expand eligibility to all former Air Force MSCs. Surviving spouses of Corps members are also eligible for full membership. The Honorary Membership category is available to recognize worthy individuals who have contributed to the growth and momentum of the Air Force Medical Service Corps

Services: Members stay connected and informed with annual membership rosters, periodic newsletters with comprehensive content of interest to all members, opportunities to share their stories as part of the ongoing history project, life event and survivor support, and an interactive Facebook Group (must answer 3 questions): https://www.facebook.com/groups/MSCAssociation
Development: In 2020, we started professional development webinars via Zoom to help create future leaders and ensure members are current on their competencies and share experiences on career, family, and self-development. The MSCA also offers career management, mentoring, andnetworking services.
Meetings: We convene biennial membership meetings (reunions and education sessions) which have become excellent learning opportunities and an opportunity to renew acquaintances and enjoy old friends. Biennial Reunions and Education sessions have been held all over the USA including Las Vegas, Charleston, SC, San Antonio, Biloxi, Mississippi, St Louis, Washington DC, and Seattle. The Association also sponsors events such as the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) USAF MSC Dinner and Corps Chief events. Added to that are benefits derived from the reunions that are more and more becoming educational seminars featuring presentations by knowledgeable professions including the Surgeon General’s Office, the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA), and Defense Health Agency (DHA), Veteran’s Affairs, and other commercial and non-profit organizations.
