Our business is conducted in three functional areas: Science and technology, operational support, and aeromedical education and training. Although we are called the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM), most of what we do is science and technology--about 70% of our manpower and about 85% of our budget are invested in science and technology, we do have an operational support role for the U.S. Air Force (USAF), and that role is primarily in aerospace medical education, hyperbarics, and epidemiology, and, of course, we have an educational facility, which is here to provide training in aeromedical specialties and subspecialties, rather than general medical education per se. The medical training for the USAF is provided at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas.
