Years of Experience and Progress
The U.S. Army Medical Department is among the largest comprehensive systems of healthcare in the country.
The Army offers several avenues to explore a medical career that covers medical school costs in exchange for a service commitment. If you elect to join the Army through one of these programs, not only will you receive funding for education, but you will also gain unique training experiences that can set you apart from civilian peers.
If you are already a medical student, there is still time to join a physician officer commissioning program and receive a scholarship for the remainder of your schooling. You could also serve part-time in exchange for drill pay and additional training as a member of the Army Reserve.
As a resident, you will be immersed in your medical specialty, but it may help to know that you can further bolster your training through military service. You can also participate in the Financial Assistance Program, which helps pay for your residency, or you can participate in programs specific to the Army Reserve.
As a licensed physician, you can serve in the Army regardless of where you are in your civilian career. You could join the Army full time, or you could maintain your civilian practice while serving part time as a member of the Army Reserve.
It all starts with a simple conversation. We will talk about the program you're interested in, about AMEDD, the Army, and answer any questions you have. Once ready, we will begin building your application packet.
During the initial phase of your application process, you will undergo a medical examination at a Military Entrance Processing Station. Don't worry, we will ensure you understand the MEPS process.
Once you have completed all the required steps in your application process by the specified deadline, we will forward your application packet to the selection board for consideration.
