Analysis of DOD Accession Alternatives for Military Physicians: Readiness Value and Cost : Institute for Defense Analyses , November , 2019
From the summary: "The Department of Defense (DoD) employs more than 10,000 active duty physicians to support its medical operations. To maintain this force structure, the department operates a large, multi-channeled physician accession pipeline whose programs offer medical education and training in exchange for military service. Today, the pipeline has two primary channels: training students in-house at the Uniformed Services University (USU) F. Edward Hébert School of Medicine, and sending students to civilian medical programs through the Armed Forces Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP). The Services also make a small number of physician accessions through the Financial Assistance Program (FAP) which targets individuals who have already completed medical school and who are in the process of completing their Graduate Medical Education (GME) training."
