Application Process
2026 Admissions Cycle Timeline
- DICAS: Applicants must apply to the program through Dietetic Internship Centralized Application Services (DICAS).
- Recruiting: Applicants should contact a local Army Medical Department (AMEDD) U.S. Army Recruiter to begin military processing and U.S. Army eligibility screening. To find an AMEDD recruiter, click here and select "Health Care Students & Professionals" in the "Army career path you’re most interested in" section of the "Contact a Recruiter" form.
- If a recruiter has not contacted you by mid-October, please contact us at medcoempn@army.mil.
- Please submit your GRE scores through DICAS.
- Medical History: Prior medical conditions/illnesses may delay the application process and may require additional documentation. It is strongly recommended that you look over the attached medical history form, reach out to a healthcare recruiter for clarification, and begin gathering documentation as soon as possible. In most cases, these are resolvable issues but just take more time. Waiting until the application cut-off date will likely result in a missed opportunity.
