the EMDP2 website at https://www.usuhs.edu/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 U.S. medical schools.

Individuals selected for the EMDP2 program will remain on active-duty while

privileges of their current paygrade.
Selectees will receive permanent change of station orders to USUHS for the 
entire length of the course.  All school expenses (i.e., books, tuition, 
labs, etc.) will be paid by USUHS for the entire length of the course.

4.  Deadline for submission of applications for FY-21 enrollment is
