Medical School Admissions Support
Get Free, Personalized Support for Your Medical School Journey
Service to School helps veterans navigate the medical school and healthcare professional admissions process with confidence, community, and expert guidance — all for free. Whether you're transitioning directly from the military or applying after working in the private sector, we connect you with veteran mentors who have successfully gained admission to top medical schools and understand how to translate your service into a compelling application.
Why Veterans Choose the Med School Path
Veterans are already service-oriented — medicine offers a new way to continue serving others, this time through healing and care. The values of selflessness, discipline, and purpose carry over seamlessly.
Medical environments rely on clear communication, decisive leadership, and functioning under pressure — all of which veterans have mastered. These skills make veterans strong contributors in clinical and academic settings.
Thanks to the GI Bill®, Yellow Ribbon Program, and additional scholarships for veterans, the cost of medical school can be significantly reduced — removing one of the biggest barriers many applicants face.
Veterans often bring diverse life experiences, maturity, and resilience to the table — traits that are increasingly valued in modern medical education. Schools are looking for students with more than just academic excellence.
There’s a growing need for culturally competent providers in both military and civilian healthcare systems. Veterans bring an understanding of service-related health issues and can bridge gaps in veteran patient care.
