In Reply To: Does anyone have a general sense about how stringent the medical requirements are for the DO? Is it like enlisting in the military, or are people with minor, non-critical conditions accepted? I'm especially curious to hear from people applying for the DO who have passed the medical screening already--what did you have, and was it at all an issue? Thanks.
Message: I know that they require a medical exam. Is this just short for a drug test, or do you actually get a physical of some sorts? When I was applying to a service academy, I had to do a medical exam. It was about 9 hours long, and the most thorough physical I have had in my life - full blood work, EKG, vision, hearing, dental, everything. What do you do for the CIA med exam?
