HM to doctor

You must remember that the doctors are all officers...you can get your basic college done while enlisted..but you would have to apply I would think for OCS as you would have to go to medical school. Not sure I have seen that one in the OCS course offered...maybe Guppy will come along and have more info.

There are programs kind of like that, but as far as I know, none for doctor.

I know there's one for nursing, and another for PA/Pharmacology/a bunch of other specialties. All of these involve the Navy paying you to go to college for this degree and then serving a number of years as an officer.

Doctors go to ODS (Officer Development School), and you have to have your medical degree in order to be selected.
