I believe they are indeed going Medical Corps, as a handful are allowed to do every year. Unless the infographic meant to say “Medical Service Corps.”Just a side under the fine print of “Medical Corps” (7) these are Logistics and Human Resource types assigned to support the Navy’s Medical Mission. They are NOT healthcare providers Dr., Nurse, etc.
There are usually half a dozen to 13 or 14 who are allowed to go to Medical Corps each year, via USUHS or civilian med school, out of USNA. I assumed these 7 were those mids selected for this opportunity, pending their acceptance into an accredited U.S. medical school.

I don’t think I have ever seen anyone go Medical Service Corps (the admin/logistics or specialty folks such as Physical Therapists, etc.) or Nurse Corps from USNA. Not that it couldn’t happen, if needs of the Navy intervened. Medical Corps is MD, of course.

I looked up the last several years of service assignment stats, and it was a range of 6-13 midshipmen for Medical Corps each year. Found a nice clip on 2 USNA Class of 2021 midshipmen in that year’s group; they should be 2 years into med school by now.
