AMEDD Student Recruiter (ASR)

Graduate school is a huge commitment both personally and financially. But here's a great opportunity for medical, dental and physician assistant students to earn even more money toward a professional degree. Through your service in the National Guard as an Army Medical Department (AMEDD) Student Recruiter, we can assist with your financial needs while you complete your degree program.
