JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas --

January 26-30 is being recognized as Biomedical Sciences Corps Week honoring the men and women who make up the Corps, including hundreds of Airmen from the 937th Training Group.

“It is an opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of what is considered the most multifaceted and diverse corps within the Air Force Medical Service,” said Lt. Col. Burke Wilson, 937th Training Group Biomedical Science Corps Executive. “The week serves to thank these dedicated professionals for their commitment to the care and support of Airmen and the readiness and training mission.”

According to Wilson, the Biomedical Science Corps cadre train more than 14 career fields within the 937 TRG, producing both officer and enlisted graduates.

“There is not a single Airman that isn't impacted by the BSC every single day. From ensuring the safety of the water they drink and the food they eat, to providing mental and physical health care, the BSC's reach is extensive.”

Wilson points to the instructors of the 937th Training Group as the starting point for this impact. “The professionalism and expertise of the 937th's instructors directly translate to a healthier, more resilient, and mission-ready force.”

The BSC officer and enlisted professionals assigned to the 937TRG recently earned the 2025 Air Force Medical Service BSC Team of the Year for Air Education and Training Command. The team is now competing at the Air Force level. The 937 TRG is aligned under the 37th Training Wing.
