<p>Has anyone had their medical exam with DodMERB yet? Is there any way I can shedule that or do I have to wait for the admissions people to send me the appt.?</p>
<p>They will contact you directly...you can't just "set it up."</p>
<p>They typically send it once they determine you're competitive. Have you opened a file online? Given them SAT and academic info?</p>
<p>Is it possible to get medical exam from my own doctor?</p>
<p>i would say no</p>
<p>they will send you to a specified physican in your area ...not your own personal physician ...you will need specific paperwork that usma will send</p>
<p>rty's correct. They'll tell you where to go and what to get done.</p>
<p>Yep,</p>
<p>My son just took his physical this week. Here is an approximate timeline as best as I can remember:</p>
<p>1st of May - completed preliminary application to USNA
28 May - received letter from USNA w/ candidate number
18 June - Received postcard in the mail from DodMERB - called number on card and DodMerb said they would send a packet in the mail w/ instructions.
10 July - Packet Shows up. Contains forms and the names, addresses and phone numbers to schedule appt with civilian contractor.
18 July - Took Physical, Hearing and eye exams.</p>
<p>If you are a female, the instuctions said the pelvic exam could be taken by your own physician at your own expense, but the physical itself had to be taken by the DoDMERB person/contractor. Guys don't need a pelvic exam so it is N/A for them.</p>
<p>The civilian Doctor only offered walk-in service, so there was virtually no waiting period to get the physical scheduled. Sometimes you are to report to a military base, but that is not up to you.</p>
<p>The DoDMERB contractor that son was sent to offered appointments within a week. However, "it will only take about an hour" was the big joke. Appointment was for 9am. Son saw the doctor about 1:45 and ended up missing the entire day of school.</p>
<p>If you need to have any remedial exam's, you can go to your own doctor, but you have to pay for it then.</p>
<p>The contractor i went to was pretty good. You didnt even schedual an appointment. They were open to 1am (something that kinda scared me) but when i walked in, i filled out the history and medical conditions chart, waited about 5 minutes, saw the tech for about 10 minutes, waited another 5 minutes then had the rest of the exam. Less than an hour the entire experience! Though the time i would spend dealing with DoDMERB and such late on down the road would FAR balance it out :-P</p>
