Hello, I was wondering if you are able to receive the military scholarship if you have a cardiac condition (that is not that serious) but take a lot of cardiac medicine such as Cardizem and Metoprolol daily. It is something I have recently started considering but I could not find anything about medical/health requirements to receive the scholarship that covers full tuition, books, and a living stipend for army, navy, or air force. I would assume for the safety of everyone they would not want me to go to a war zone because if something did happen with my heart, it would put everyone in a bad situation. However, does anyone know if I would still be eligible to receive the scholarship and practice after residency in a non-war zone like at a hospital base such as Texas or Georgia or something?
I realize I will probably have to contact all three branches but I figured it could not hurt to ask. I am applying to DO and MD schools so I am posting this to both the pre-MD and pre-DO forum. Any input would be appreciated.
