Columbia, in order to matriculate at USUHS you must enlist in a branch of the armed forces. You’re asked on your application and again at your interview to rank your preferences for which service you want to enlist in. Civilians may be able to apply, but only military (or PHS) personnel can enroll. (If accepted to USUHS and you plan to attend, you will have to report earlier than the first day of class so you can be inducted and go thru some minimal basic training. The summer after MS1 is officer training school.)

Please–D1 got as far as the preliminary interview and balked since she didn’t want to go military and she was told her application to join the PHS wasn’t likely to get her accepted since the number of slots allotted to the PHS was in the low single digits.
