My bad, after reviewing all of the medical scholarships on goarmy.com, I found the Physician Assistant program application.

Are there scholarships available for those who seek medical careers that do not require medical school? For example, I believe that Physician Assistant and Perfusionist programs last for 2-3 years after receiving a college degree.

Thanks again for the help kp2001! I noticed that you are a graduate from the Uniformed Service University of Health Science and I was wondering if the University is lenient towards applicant with medical DQ's based on how, upon graduation, the graduate would be committed to being a healthcare...

In my earlier posts, I have asked about how being diagnosed with asthma will affect my chances at Service Academies/ROTC, which has raised the question of whether all types of asthma are treated the same. For example, I have allergy induced asthma which affects me only when ragweed season comes...

Just to add, my most recent doctor said that she decided to give me the epi-pen because of the recent asthma revelation, which when mixed with a anaphylaxis reaction from the shrimp could be a bad mix. She did tell me though not to be worried about it if I am able to eat shrimp and control my...

Thanks sheriff, like my asthma, the shrimp allergy has left me confused. I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that I have had shrimp recently and had no problem with it. Based on the test in which whatever causes the reaction in shrimp was injected into my skin, it showed that I had a reaction...

Thanks kp2001! My first pft's results showed that I did not have asthma at all, and that was when I was having trouble breathing. My allergy induced asthma only occurs two to three months a year, and during that time they only affected me during long practices in high temperatures (only caused...

So, I got a second set of results back that say that the last portion of the pulmonary test shows that I have a small (easy to control) case of allergy induced asthma. It is only triggered by ragweed and possibly live oaks during late summer and early fall (August-October). I know that this...

Thanks! What I saw from the navy/air force's websites is that, with healthcare professions, you would have to attend a five week training sessions after going to college (they didn't mention anything about rotc or service academies on those pages).

Is it possible to apply for a ROTC scholarship/attend any branch of ROTC with the intention to become a healthcare officer (ex. Microbiologist, Environmental Scientist, Radiation Health Officer), or do you have to go through college first and then apply to go through the five weeks of training?

Thanks again for all the great advice! I'm looking into a volunteer opportunities this summer at either an animal shelter or my Church.

Cooper M: Thanks for the advice! You brought up some great ideas that I had never though of before. usna1985: You mentioned that working with animals could lead to a leadership position, could you talk more about that? Do you mean volunteering at an animal shelters? I've always had an...

Usnavy2019: I was never diagnosed with asthma which will go a far way, also, from what I have seen, ragweed is a very common allergen in southern America, hopefully it won't violate any of the allergy regulations. Thanks for the advice! Stealth_81: Thanks for pointing me to him! :thumb...

I am having a hard time finding open leadership opportunities, any ideas/well known leadership roles for high school juniors that come to mind? I've also noticed that a lot of people write down memberships of school clubs as leadership positions, do those count or are they just EC's because they...

If anybody does know about the Navy physician, it would be great if you could point him this way for a second opinion. I don't doubt the previous poster, but it would be helpful to know if the same guidelines apply the same way as of now.
