I will be ETSing this June and begin Cardiology fellowship this July in California. I will be applying for the post 911 GI Bill to take advantage of its monthly housing allowance and book stipend. Surprisingly, the medical center is not listed in WEAMS list of VA approved programs. I've tried to contact the state approving agency via telephone/email, but still awaiting a response. The GME office also is not familiar w/ the GI Bill.
Question: Is anyone familiar w/ the approval process? How long does the process take?
Of note, residency/fellowship is considered an institution of higher learning, not an apprenticeship/OJT. Thus, you are awarded the full amount monthly for 36 months.
