Do I have to have a full medical exam upon entering the program my first year?
No, only those cadets on scholarship will have a full medical exam which is accomplished through the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board or DoDMERB. You will be scheduled for a DoDMERB at the beginning of your AS200 year. (Sophomore)
If you are in ROTC, a DODMERB request is submitted by your ROTC program through the DODMETS website. Once approved, your ROTC unit will give you instructions on how to setup the appointment.
