Is Uniformed Services University a prestigious medical school?

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Scrubs uniforms

I’m interested in getting a direct commission in the Army as a physician, and I was wondering if this university is harder or easier than your average medical school? If anybody has any advice that’d be greatly appreciated, thanks.

It is competitive due to the fact that you do not pay for tuition and you are actually paid while you are attending school as an O-1. I believe that each class is under 200 students.

    I don’t see how it could be harder than any other medical school.

    I agree with Mr. Puma. I wish I knew the percentage, but it appears that a greater number of physicians in the military went through civilian medical school and then got their commission (as opposed to going through USU to get their med degrees).
