The Military Medicine Honors Track is a specialized curricular offering for recipients of the Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) and National Guard members who will serve as military physicians following medical school graduation. This specialty track provides longitudinal learning opportunities uniquely aligned to address Medical Corps officer duties and obligations.
The military track consists of offerings in addition to the regular COM curriculum, covering topics such as: military medicine, career opportunities, leadership, health/wellness, trauma and wound care, disaster and combat medicine, triage, medical evacuation, operational medicine, tropical medicine, surgical skills, social adjustment, and support systems. The educational experiences will be delivered through didactic presentations and hands-on experiences. These experiences may include cadaver surgical skills sessions and use of cut-suit simulation to practice medical procedures and surgical skills. Grading is pass/fail.
To remain eligible for the track, students must be in good standing. A student will be administratively withdrawn from the honors track for any of the following reasons:
- Course failure
- Academic probation status
