==== First and Second World Wars ====
In 1917, the United States joined the [[First World War]], and Emory University responded by organizing a medical unit composed of faculty and alumni of the medical school. The unit, which became known as Emory Unit, Base Hospital 43, served in [[Loir-et-Cher]], France, from July 1918 to January 1919. During the [[Second World War]], the Emory Unit was mobilized once again and served in the [[North African campaign]] and Europe.
