Interview Rotations & Day Visits
Fourth-year USUHS and Health Professions Scholarship Programs (HPSP) students interested in elective rotations in Pediatrics at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center at Bethesda should email: dha.ncr.Walter-Reed-Med-Ctr.list.ncc-peds@health.mil to schedule a rotation or a visit.
Students interviewing for our program should plan electives in the July-October time block. Preference is given to students who are applying for military pediatric residencies. Regardless of the elective site, students will have an opportunity to work and observe our program at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. We suggest that you arrange those rotations early, as spots are limited.
Requests are accepted on the first Monday of December for the upcoming academic year starting the following July. Requests are honored in the order in which they were received. Inpatient rotations typically last 4 weeks with both day and night shifts, while outpatient and elective rotations can be split into 2 week increments. We also offer single day visits or short stay visits during application season (July-October).
Requests are made by contacting the program coordinator at dha.ncr.Walter-Reed-Med-Ctr.list.ncc-peds@health.mil with the following information:
- Rank and Name
- Email and phone number
- Branch of Service (Army, Navy, Air Force, Public Health Service)
- Name of Medical School
- Your expected year of graduation
- Your planned specialty after medical school (preference for rotations from July to October is given to those applying for pediatrics)
- Whether you are applying to the NCC Pediatric Residency for internship
- Whether you will be traveling to DC on military orders or not
