Active duty soldier here. Finishing up my BS in Healthcare Administration and coming up on my ETS. I am looking to get out of active duty but want to transition to the Reserves and commission. I am in the healthcare field now, so I’m familiar with the job but I was wondering if anyone can help me out or has gone through a similar process. TIA!

Several routes. Go to Grad School and take ROTC,. Apply for OCS. It is possible to get a direct Commission in the medical service Corps but usually it's for people who have shortage clinical Specialties although it's not impossible to get such a commission for admin. Talk to an AMEDD recruiter you can go online to find out the location of the nearest one Good luck.

That’s what I did way back when; came off active duty straight into reserves (not medical). It was handled by the Army prior to my ets. I went back to school, and later enrolled in ROTC when I became a first quarter junior. That’s how I received my commission.
