title: Support systems at the U.S. government's only medical school, the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences.
abstract: A brief history and a discussion of general support management employed at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences are given. This includes the "place" of support, leadership philosophy, and guiding principles. Guiding principles advocated by H. Edwards Deming were adopted. Some of the specific management techniques employed in instituting his 14-point plan are emphasized when making personnel selections, "immersing" them in the "culture," and maintaining the environment established.
