“Health Security has historically been marginalized in it's criticality to U.S. National Security. Real world events such as SARS, Avian Influenza, Mad Cow Disease, and West Nile Virus, to name a few, have underscored the economic, social, political, and health impacts of Health Security on a global scale. The National Academies of Science (NAS) study "Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing and Employing America for a Brighter Economic Future, emphasizes the need for a pipeline of young Americans in STEM fields, and reinforces the deeper underlying challenges necessary for the educational system to develop broad-based accredited  programs that support globalization. Health Security is one of the core challenges that societies must address in order to emerge and flourish.”
