There is no specific training necessary other than your medical training. You are commissioned as a First Lieutenant with immediate appointment to temporary Captain with pay and privileges thereof. I might add that this is a Direct Presidential Appointment and you are therefore not a Line Officer but an office in the Medical Corps.
You are eligible for Residency training but must apply for same like everyone else. For every year of training; you pay back a year of service.
To get information on this subject it is best to contact a MEDICAL OFFICER Recruiter.
