The maximum age, when commissioned, is 52 years and 0 days. Processing your application can take 3 to 6 months (sometimes longer) so if you are currently age 51, you may want to expedite your application.

You must be a U.S. citizen.

Physical Examination
You must pass the Physical Examination.

Education
Physicians from foreign countries must have their ECFMG Certificate/Letter or 5th Pathway.

Malpractice
