<p>So I haven't posted here in a long time but I'm finishing up at Cornell, which I am proud to say is going well and is an ROTC/Army friendly Undergrad college, and I was curious if anyone knows of any good Army friendly medical schools. Or I guess schools that you think would at least view my Army ROTC work as worth something as an EC.
And no, I'm not looking for a million referrals to the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences.
An example would be someone you know that completed ROTC and ended up at UNC or UWash or Vanderbilt etc.
Also if anyone has any first hand experience of being asked interview questions about ROTC I would love to hear about it so I know what to expect. Thanks!</p>
<p>EVMS (Eastern Virginia Medical School) has a pretty high population of military students (relative to other schools at least) - mostly navy due to its proximity to the Norfolk Naval Base, but there are a decent number of army and air force. Students at EVMS also do rotations at the Naval Medical Center.</p>
<p>My sister goes to law school in Virginia, that might be something to look at. Thanks for your input.</p>
<p>Students at University of Texas Health Science Center-San Antonio rotate regularly at both Brooke Army Medical Center and Wilford Hall AIR Force Medical Center. Because of the very large military medical presence in San Antonio, many faculty members are also former military physicians. If you end up training in the military-you will become very familiar with San Antonio- as Fort Sam Houston is the "Home of Military Medicine" and with the BRAC(base realignment comission); Brooke Army and Wilford Hall are combining into a huge military medical center. It is expected that all residency training in the military will come down to two major centers-San Antonio and Washington, DC(where Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval medical centers are also combining). My dad is a retired Army medical Corps Colonel who is now a Professor at UTHSC-SA, so I am quite familiar with both military medicine and UTHSC-SA(where I am a second year student)</p>
<p>Anyway to guarantee Washington D.C.? I spent 4 years in San Antonio Texas while my dad worked at Wilford Hall and it was HELL. I hated the heat and I have very bad memories of that time. I would be delighted to get a residency at Walter Reed though. Any schools connected to Walter Reed specifically?</p>
<p>the single best thing to do to be accepted for a military residency is to perform some of your clinical rotations(4th year electives mainly) at the hospital that you want to be accepted at. Almost everyone will chose a known quantity over an unknown. It also depends, of course, on your residency choice. My father heard from friends that there are 38 fewer applicants than available spots in next years internal medicine military programs-so a real buyers market(the war has taken a toll on both recruiting and retention). Good luck!</p>
