Transitioning From Active Duty Military to Medical School | Military Medicine

One of the most common questions I receive is, "How can I become a Navy doctors." This question frequently comes from enlisted service members. Fortunately, there are multiple resources available IF you know where to look.
In this video, I break down the steps one needs to take to apply to medical school. I mention the enlisted to MD program (www.usuhs.edu/...) which is sponsored by the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences. Additionally, I refer everyone to the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) which contains a wealth of information.
This video is good for enlisted service members, as well as for officers looking to transfer to the Staff Corps.

Thanks Dr.Bradley for the informational video! I just graduated from college and decided to enlist into the military to raise my gpa and take prerequisites for Med school! Do you recommend going into a medical MOS and taking classes on the side? Is there some sort of bridge program if I go 68C?!

Excellent video brother thanks. I often hear from people who are currently in medical school that their med school requires a bachelors degree from a state university. I understand that air force bases have community college’s on base. Im curious if I got a bachelors degree while enlisted in 4 year contract through the community college on bases would that not be acceptable not being a state college? My long term goal is to be an anesthesiologist

I want to join active duty as a combat medic while attending med school

Good luck in your journey!

Hey, this is what I want to do! How do you plan on attending medical school, any programs or assistance? I'm struggling with finding it out

What’s a good job when getting into the military, I’m thinking of joining the navy and a little bit before getting my associates, what would be a good job to try and get to give me the ability to prepare to become a doctor?

Thank you for the video. I'm an active duty officer applying to medical school next year. Who would be a good point of contact to guide me through the process from going from active duty to USUHS?

[@StevenBradleyMD]

I think your best bet is to check out the USUHS website. I think you would still submit an application via AMCAS, but I'm sure they would help you out.
