PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENLISTED MEMBERS

The Enlisted to Medical Degree Preparatory Program (EMDP2) program is a two-year, full-time education program for enlisted members of the military. It is intended for motivated service members who show academic promise and whose experiences and goals align with the mission of their military services and the F. Edward Hebert School of Medicine. Selectees are assigned to USU (requires a permanent change of station to Bethesda, MD) and placed in a supportive academic setting for a two-year period.

EMDP2 includes premedical coursework, Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) preparation, clinical experience, mentoring, and pre-health advising. George Mason University provides the coursework, MCAT preparation courses, and pre-health advising on a contract basis. These services are provided at Mason’s Science and Technology Campus (Manassas) in an exclusive cohort structure. USU coordinates the remaining elements, including the clinical component, which is completed at Fort Belvoir Community Hospital, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, and Malcolm Grow Medical Center at Andrews Air Force Base. Read more
