Student Rotation Request Information

1. All rotations must be requested through the Student Coordinator using the WAMC Rotation Request form and sending by email to dha.liberty.womack-amc.list.dme-gme@health.mil. Do not contact the departments directly, as this may result in over-scheduling causing unexpected cancellations.
2. Interview season for fourth year Medical Students is from May to October each year. Rotation requests from fourth year medical students intending to interview (Active-Duty Training (ADT) and non-ADT) will be given the highest priority for consideration.
3. During non-interview season (October to May), students requesting ADT rotations are given a higher priority for rotation requests than non-ADT rotations.
4. Medical Students will receive a confirmation letter via email once rotation is scheduled. Read confirmation letter carefully and immediately begin submitting requested information. If requested information is not received within two months of start date your rotation will be automatically cancelled.
5. Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) Medical Students requesting a non-ADT rotation must have a Memorandum of Affiliation (MOA) in place between WAMC and the student’s medical school (takes from two to six months). Student Coordinator will provide contact information when request is received.
6. Civilians, with no military affiliation, must initiate a National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) through the WAMC Security Office as soon as possible, but no later than one month prior to rotation start date. Contact Student Coordinator for detailed instructions.
7. Rotations at WAMC are very competitive! Rotation requests should be submitted on the earliest allowable date. When Medical Student limit is reached per specialty, Student Coordinator will work with Medical Students to secure an alternate date, sub-specialty rotation, or rotation in alternate specialty to ensure Medical Student is on-site for face-to-face interview.

Notice:

WAMC will accept rotation requests when students are within nine (9) months of their intended rotation month.
