If such training is not available within HHS, I may be considered for additional graduate medical education in
Department of Defense (DoD) administered or HHS-sponsored extramural training programs as specified below.
The period of my participation in an HHS intramural graduate medical education program shall not be credited
toward fulfillment of any active duty obligation I incur pursuant to my assignment as a medical student to USUHS. I
further understand that I shall incur no additional active duty obligation to the Corps for my participation in an initial
HHS intramural graduate medical education program unless such program involves a period of extramural training,
(i.e., training in a non-HHS facility). When an intramural training program includes one or more periods of
extramural training, I shall incur an additional active duty obligation to the Corps as specified in the electronic
Commissioned Corps Issuance System, CCI 325.02, "Intramural Residency Training Programs," at
http://dcp.psc.gov/eccis/documents/CCPM25_2_3.pdf
.
If not offered an HHS intramural graduate medical education position upon my graduation from the School of
Medicine, USUHS, I understand that I may be approved by the Corps to participate in a graduate medical
education program administered by DoD if such is determined to be in the best interest of the Corps. If I participate
in a DoD-administered graduate medical education program, such period of participation shall not be credited
toward fulfillment of my active duty obligation to the Corps incurred pursuant to my assignment as a medical
student to USUHS. I further understand that I shall incur no additional active duty obligation to the Corps pursuant
to my approved participation in an initial DoD-administered graduate medical education program.
If I am not offered an HHS intramural graduate medical education position or approved to participate in a graduate
medical education program administered by DoD, I understand that I may be approved for HHS- supported
extramural training if such is considered to be in the best interest of the Corps. If I participate in an HHS-supported
extramural graduate medical education, I shall incur an active duty obligation to the Corps of 6 months or twice the
period of training, whichever is greater. This additional active duty obligation shall be served concurrently with the
active duty obligation to the Corps incurred pursuant to my assignment as a medical student to USUHS. Participation
in an HHS-supported extramural graduate medical education program shall not be credited toward fulfillment of my
active duty obligation to the Corps incurred pursuant to my assignment as a medical student to USUHS.
I understand that graduate medical education beyond the GME-1 year is not guaranteed. Whether I will be
authorized to participate in such education programs will be determined by Corps requirements with consideration
given to my preference.

If I fail to complete my CSO with the Corps incurred from my assignment as a medical student to USUHS as
described in paragraph B above, or fail to participate in an HHS-supported extramural graduate medical education as
specified in paragraph F above, I shall be obligated to pay HHS. The monetary obligation equals 2 times the total
amount of the tuition, fees, and other training expenses; and 2 times any compensation, to include but not limited to
pay, allowances, special pays, travel, transportation, and shipment of household goods) received by me or paid on
my behalf in connection with the training. I understand that in the absence of a tuition charged by USUHS and for
purposes of computation of the monetary obligation as stated in this paragraph, tuition shall be the average tuition
charged for medical training by accredited schools of medicine within 25 miles of the District of Columbia.
Computation of such tuition charges will be based on tuition rates in effect during the period I am assigned as a
medical student to USUHS. (Note: Under the Department of Treasury regulations, late charges may be assessed for
payments made after the due date on amounts owed to the U.S. Government.
Furthermore, I understand that if I fail to fulfill my CSO incurred pursuant to my participation in training under this
agreement, the Corps will deny me any lump sum payment for unused annual leave; divest me of any travel and
transportation allowances which are otherwise authorized in connection with my separation from the Corps; withhold
my final pay and allowances to satisfy any indebtedness to the Government; and deny my request for a commission
in the inactive reserve.
Note: Accreditation of medical schools shall be either by the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical
Association or Bureau of Professional Education, Committee on Colleges of the American Osteopathic Association.
