RMKS/1.  This NAVADMIN solicits applications and provides guidance for the

all ratings who meet eligibility requirements in line with reference (a) and 
the EMDP2 website at https://medschool.usuhs.edu/academics/emdp2.  The EMDP2 
is a partnership between the Uniformed Services University of the Health 
Sciences (USUHS) and the military services to provide an opportunity for 
highly motivated, academically promising enlisted Service Members.  The EMDP2 
consists of intensive coursework, preparation, and mentoring to prepare 
students for application to medical school.
Upon completion of the program, successful students will be competitive for 
acceptance to medical schools in the United States.

3.  Selectees are assigned to the USUHS in Bethesda, MD for 2 years.
Individuals selected for the EMDP2 program will remain on Active Duty while 
completing coursework and will receive pay, allowances, benefits, and 
privileges of their current paygrade.  Selectees will receive permanent 
change of station orders to USUHS for the entire length of the course.  USUHS 
will pay all school expenses (e.g., books, tuition, labs, etc.) for the 
entire length of the course.

4.  Deadline for submission of applications for FY-24 enrollment is no later 
than 30 September 2023.  Application packages must be received on or before 
the deadline date.  No additional documents or packages will be accepted 
after this date.  Application requirements are specified on the EMDP2 
website, located at https://medschool.usuhs.edu/academics/emdp2.

5.  Strict adherence to package submission requirements will be a primary
