Q1:

Who is eligible to train in DHA GME programs?

A:

Except for the few programs that accept civilian applicants for Veterans Administration funded positions (see next item), all applicants must either be a current Medical Corps officer authorized to apply by their Service or be enrolled in the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine, Health Professions Scholarship Program, or Health Services Collegiate Program.

Can civilian applicants apply to DHA GME programs?

A:

A few programs accept civilian applicants for Veterans Administration funded positions. These programs may be found on the National Residency Matching Program website. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and meet the requirements of the VA and NRMP. Please note if the program is not found in the NRMP, that means civilian applicants may NOT apply.

ECFMG applicants may apply to those programs that accept civilian applicants for VA funded positions, subject to the requirements of the VA and NRMP.
