Sailors of 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 successful completion of the program, students will be 
competitive for acceptance to medical schools in the United States.

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 (books, 
tuition, labs, etc.) for the entire length of the course. 
 
4.  Deadline for submission of applications for FY-23 enrollment is

be received on or before the deadline.  No additional documents or
