Is USUHS accredited? Yes. The only hitch is like everywhere else they take 6 people a year, oh and you have a good chance of geting an all expenses paid trip to Kabul or wherever when you get licensed.
Deployment is just a way of life in the military.
And yes, they only take about 10-12 people a year, most of the people who applied to the military slots were either prior military or currently serving. However the Navy has a history of taking applicants without prior military service.
Here is how it breaks down.
2-4 Civilian students for the Civilian Med Psych or Civilian Clin/Med Psych tracks.
No service commitments, No strings attached, No trips to Afghanistan.
$27,500 per year stipend. No tuition costs or fees.
Competitive... Ya, you might say that.
2 Navy Slots for the Military Clinical track
These students could be either civilian or on active duty with the military.
Consistently pretty competitive due to the fact it's open to everyone to apply.
Pay and Benefits... plus strings attached (including a likely vacation in Afghanistan.)
2-3 Army Slots for the Military Clinical track
These students had to be on active duty as officers with the Army.*
Competition is variable, depends on who submits a package, can be very competitive.
Pay and Benefits... plus strings attached (including a likely vacation in Afghanistan.)
2 Air Force Slots for the Military Clinical track
These students had to be on active duty in the USAF.*
Competition is variable, depends on who submits a package, can be very competitive.
