DoDMERB

[sei]

I am currently a junior in an Army ROTC program. I am hoping to be granted an ed delay and go straight to med school after I graduate from undergrad. I am DoDMERB qualified for ROTC, but required a few waivers. Does anyone know if I have to go through DoDMERB again for USUHS or HPSP (Army for either)?

Probably will have to get a new physical, but not new waivers. Physical qualifications for staff corps officers are less stringent than line.

I was actually wondering the same thing. I'm fourth-year Army ROTC with a May-2005 DoDMERB, and I have an interview at USUHS in a couple weeks. I received a DoDMERB application in the mail a couple weeks ago from a company called Concorde, who apparently has a contract with USUHS and the mil academies to enroll and process DoDMERB applications for prospective students.

I called Concorde, and they said I'd have to get a new DoDMERB because mine is over two years old, which is interesting because HPSP only requires a DoDMERB no more than five years old. I then called USUHS Adcom with the same question, and the rep who answered wasn't sure and told me just to wait for my interview.

So I will let you know once I figure this ordeal out in a couple weeks..

HPSP uses DoDMERB now? When I went through, we had to get our physical from MEPS and it had be current within one year.

I assumed that HPSP uses DoDMERB since you end up being a commissioned officer, but I could be completely wrong.

Usually MEPS, but sometimes DoDMERB. Depends on the district and availability.

Well, good on you for responding to the necro so quickly!

Thanks for the speedy reply! I'm getting my DODMERB redone next week. Pain in the butt, but worth it if I can nab a spot at USUHS
