Air Force Capt. (Dr.) Lindsay Slimski was the first and only female member of the first cohort of the Uniformed Services University Enlisted to Medical Degree Preparatory Program. The former U.S. Air Force air traffic controller overcame adversity to become a military doctor. “There are a lot of things that can happen throughout our lives, and you can’t really let things hold you back,” she said. “You just have to keep that mindset, no matter what happens and think, ‘I’m going to push myself to move forward.’”
The program enables enlisted service members to remain on active duty while enrolled as full-time students in preparation for application to medical school.
Slimski serves as a family medicine physician with the 1st Special Operations Medical Group at Hurlburt Field, Florida.
