2025 GME Application Information – New Dartmouth Master of Health Care Delivery Science Option
BUMED has released the GME application instructions (BUMEDNOTE 1524):
They also provided the attached updated FAQs for the Pilot Program:
Further, this year the BUMEDNOTE 1524 contains a new non-clinical opportunity for a Master of Health Care Delivery Science from Dartmouth. For FY26, the Medical Corps has one opportunity, but we anticipate this increasing to three opportunities per year thereafter. More information is available at https://mhcds.dartmouth.edu. The program has established a dedicated link for prospective Navy applicants here: https://dartgo.org/mhcds-navy.
Note that fellowship opportunities can change between publication of the BUMEDNOTE and finalization of the JGMESB precept. PERS-eligible applicants interested in a fellowship not listed in the BUMEDNOTE are encouraged to discuss this with their specialty leaders and consider applying with the recognition that an officer applying for an opportunity listed within the BUMEDNOTE has a higher probability of being selected than an officer applying for an opportunity not listed in the BUMEDNOTE (i.e. a specialty leader “Wish List” opportunity).
