The application process depends on your branch. I’m in the Air Force so I applied online through mypers. If you’d like, I can email you my completed package that I submitted so you know what it looks like. And I agree with no one knowing what you’re talking about. The only reason I got so much information was because of my proximity to USUHS. ( I met the program director Dr Greene at a random volunteer event, one of the doctors I work with’s wife is a high up associate professor, and I’ve worked with the med students over there). So I can definitely help you out.
The post bacc on my own is the best option for me. I’ve never really been in love with the military so this was my chance to not owe my life. Doing EMDP2 means retiring with all the pay back time. However, I think it’s a fantastic program. Graduating with zero debt and getting paid is fantastic. You dont have to worry about anything other than going to school and pt testing. Also you wear your uniform like one day a week. It’s literally perfect. Plus the mcat prep is included which is a couple grand but idk if they help pay for amcas fees or not. And they definitely help with clinical experience if you dont have any. But if you arent medical, I would definitely start getting hours now. I guy I know got rejected from USUHS last year and waitlisted this year from lack of clinical experince.
For updates, I would recommend following the EMDP2 facebook page. It’s most up to date on there. But the updates they may be referring to is COVID. I’m separating 1 Sept and starting classes at George Mason University (same school as EMDP2) and classes are mostly online for the fall except for labs. So they may be having to adjust.
And my PS was just like every other pre-med’s - too much about personal life and not enough about why you wanna be a doctor.
You can find me on the global if you need anything else or want me to send my package! (last name is Golding and I’m the only one)
