One of the features of the Forever GI Bill is an extension for up to 9 months for students pursuing STEM studies. It seems that this is designed primarily for students whose undergraduate degree plans require significantly more credits than is typical (e.g. engineering majors).
Does anyone know if this extension can be used during medical school? At first I assumed probably not, but I did some searching around and there seems to be some ambiguity in the descriptions I found. This site (https://militarybenefits.info/gi-bill-stem-extension/) says that the extension could be granted for "medical residency programs" and for "other subjects and fields identified by the Secretary as meeting national needs."
