The Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine (ICOM) is proud to announce that 16 members of its Class of 2025 are eligible to continue their medical training in the United States Armed Forces.

Military physicians provide healthcare services to military personnel and their families. They work in a variety of settings, including military hospitals, hospital ships, as well as international medical centers. They may also participate in humanitarian efforts, caring for victims of natural disasters.

During Match Day, future physicians receive information about where they will complete their post-doctoral specialty training, commonly referred to as a residency. Similar to this process, military medical students participate in their own selection process for programs located at military hospitals, clinics and bases.

ICOM’s future military physicians will soon be practicing medicine within the Army, Air Force and Navy military branches. Their specialties include Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, among others.

The remaining students in ICOM’s Class of 2025 will participate in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) on March 21, 2025.
