With your soul.\nJust kidding.  Are you thinking of the ROTC program?\nWith the ROTC the military will pay for your school which you attend before military service.  After completing your eduction you are then obligated to serve in the military for the number of years of you eduction.\nWith the GI Bill the Federal government will pay towards your college eduction after you have served in the military.\nThere are also programs to further your eduction while in active service.

from what i've heard -- if you are interested in medicine, and tell recruiters that when you enlist, you will stay in that field within the military.  i met someone who was a mechanical engineer (or perhaps studying it, more likely), and tho he was in the services, he worked on engines, etc. as opposed to fighting.\n\nit's my impression that if you join and tell them you are interested in/have experience in a field that is used by the military, but is non-combative, that you can pursue that track within the military.\n\nyou could try telling a recruiter that you're interested in serving the country, but serving it through medicine/taking care of injured fellow servicemen.......\n\nbut keep asking, this is all just what i've heard second and third hand.  good luck!  and if you join, may you stay safe!!

Not exactly, unless you work at Playboy.\n\nVets can specialize just as well as human doctors can - so yes, to answer your question, there is.

i think they use people not from college.  you work your way up in the military, join then you can try to be promoted to that.\nthey use seargeants, which are not officers.\nofficers are usually college educated.\nenlisted folks i think are usually drill seargeants (boot camp teachers).\nnow if you want to teach subject matter, that's different.\nbut i still think you have to be in the military and work your way up to that.  and of course you have to have expertise on the subject you will teach (weapons, survival, whatever courses they have in boot camp that are more academic)

There is no "pre-med major" at either school but both have many opportunities for people interested in becoming doctors, especially since both have medical schools and hospitals that undergraduates can volunteer in.  There are also "career services" staff that can advise students about med school requirements and such.

I have a friend whose husband went into the army as an officer first. He was a Lt. for a yr. and now he is going to captains school. What he did was he went to college, Texas A&M and enrolled in their ROTC program and I think he talked to a recruiter.The military paid for his college tuition and then he had to serve 4 years in the military upon graduation. Don't believe the recruiters when they tell you that you can go to college while in the military. That is a bunch of BS, I know because my first husband was in the military. Go to college first, then go into the military. Look into West point or something like this guy. I do want you to know that the military doesn't make that much money. You are poor...they do have free housing for officers, free medical, the commisary(groceries) which is cheaper and the traveling is ok if you get housing on base.

I am a physician and before I went to medical school I used to feel faint at the site of blood or open wounds.  I used to have similar problems after I got to medical school, too.  My first clinical rotation in my third year was surgery and after my first night on call all such problems were eliminated.  It is natural for people to feel squeamish about these issues, but in medical school you get desensitized so you're able to have your arms in muck up to your elbows and still hold down the lunch you just wolfed down.\n\nBest colleges in California:  Think UC, any campus.\n\nMedical schools:  Any you can get into.\n\nCosts:  Depending upon whether you go to a private or public college or medical school, total accumulated educational debt could range from $250,000 - $750,000.  If you take a military scholarship, you'd get your whole medical education paid but you'd owe one year of military service for each year of support.  Think M*A*S*H unit in Iraq.\n\nGood luck!

Military academies have many top students. You do not need to be in one to go to the air force but it would help.\nWhat he needs to do is study study study Be the top of his class and a sports. ROTC any where he going would be a must even if its not air force.

In the Army, you pick your job.  If you want a desk job, that's what you pick.  Check out the medical professions.  All the doctors have "desk" jobs.  They may have to go to a hostile zone, but they will stay in the hospital.  \n\nFor the Army, check out this site:  http://www.cs.amedd.army.mil/  \n\nIf you're still interested, talk to your local recruiter.  Be adamant, tho, that you want to talk to an AMEDD recruiter.\n\nGood luck

The Montgomery GI Bill provides college money to veterans.  Veterans can use this money to go to college.

Most universities, whether public or private do receive federal monies directly or indirectly. For example, many American college students receive grants from the federal government which is used to pay their tuition at state-sponsored or private colleges and universities. The federal government also guarantees many student loans. \n\nStudents at the service academies pretty much get all their expenses paid by the federal government in exchange for an individual's committment to several years of military service. The graduates generally receive commissions as officers. Admission to these academies is very competitive, and admission may require the recommendation of a US Congressman or Senator.\n\nThese include:\n\nUS Military Academy (West Point, New York)\nUS Naval Academy (Annapolis, Maryland)\nUS Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, Colorado)\nUS Coast Guard Academy (New London, Connecticut)

You come out of West Point an Army Officer.  You can also become an Army officer, by participating in an R.O.T.C. program while you attend another college.\n\nThe difference is in the networking.  The ones who came from West Point are already connected.  The military can be a very political.  You have to be connected to the right people in order to get noticed.

I'm not one, but know a couple.  I'm not understanding whether or not you are already in medical school, or if you're younger, and have little knowledge of the field.\n\nA psychiatrist must be an MD first.  That means medical school, internship, the whole works.  It takes a very long time to get your credentials.  A psychiatrist can perform operations on patients, as well as counsel and prescribe.\n\nIf you are not about to become an MD, but want to help people with problems, you might consider looking into psychology.  As a psychologist, you would not be an MD, and not allowed to prescribe medication.  You would major in psychology in college, and need to get a masters degree, and possibly more.  A lot of work, but rewarding.\n\nI would not have answered this question if I thought any psychiatrists were actually on this site.  Although, you never know...  Good luck.
