Still true...any professional medical education will DQ you from any line officer job. that's their way of encouraging you to join the medical corps.

Even reserves who are winged/warfare-qualified will be instantly re-routed to a medical designator if they so much as enroll in medical/nursing school. They actually make us sign a form every year certifying that we have not enrolled in med school
