Sir, I recommend contacting the AMEDD down at FT Sam Houston to find out all the details needed to transition over to Medical.

LT it should not be too difficult. The army is currently in need of Clinical Social Workers, Psychologist and Mental health counselors. I had a friend that I was deployed with that went from an 88M to a Pharmacist. As long as you have the required education to fill the slot there should be no issue. I recommend that you contact an AMEDD recruiter in your area and get the paperwork started. You will probably make CPT before the process is complete. It took 1 year and 6 months for my friends packet to be processed.
