training shall not be creditable in satisfying a commissioned

service obligation imposed by this section.

(d) A medical student who, under regulations prescribed by the

Secretary of Defense, is dropped from the program for deficiency in

conduct or studies, or for other reasons, may be required to

perform active duty in an appropriate military capacity in

accordance with the active duty obligation imposed by this

section. In no case shall any such student be required to serve on

active duty for any period in excess of a period equal to the

period he participated in the program, except that in no case may

any such student be required to serve on active duty less than one

year.

(e)(1) The Secretary of Defense may enter into agreements with

foreign military medical schools for reciprocal education programs

under which students at the University receive specialized military

medical instruction at the foreign military medical school and

military medical personnel of the country of such medical school

receive specialized military medical instruction at the University.

Any such agreement may be made on a reimbursable basis or a

nonreimbursable basis.

(2) Not more than 40 persons at any one time may receive

instruction at the University under this subsection. Attendance of

such persons at the University may not result in a decrease in the

number of students enrolled in the University. Subsection (b) does

not apply to students receiving instruction under this subsection.

(3) The Dean of the University, with the approval of the

Secretary of Defense, shall determine the countries from which

persons may be selected to receive instruction under this

subsection and the number of persons that may be selected from each

country. The Dean may establish qualifications and methods of

selection and shall select those persons who will be permitted to

receive instruction at the University. The qualifications

established shall be comparable to those required of United States

citizens.

(4) Each foreign country from which a student is permitted to

receive instruction at the University under this subsection shall

reimburse the United States for the cost of providing such

instruction, unless such reimbursement is waived by the Secretary

of Defense. The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe the rates for

reimbursement under this paragraph.

(5) Except as the Dean determines, a person receiving instruction

at the University under this subsection is subject to the same

regulations governing attendance, discipline, discharge, and

dismissal as a student enrolled in the University. The Secretary

may prescribe regulations with respect to access to classified

information by a person receiving instruction under this subsection

that differ from the regulations that apply to a student enrolled

in the University.

(f) In this section, the term ''commissioned service obligation''

means, with respect to an officer who is a graduate of the

University, the period beginning on the date of the appointment of

the officer in a regular component after graduation and ending on

the tenth anniversary of that appointment.

(g) The Secretary of Defense shall establish such selection

procedures, service obligations, and other requirements as the

Secretary considers appropriate for graduate students (other than

medical students) in a postdoctoral, postgraduate, or technological

institute established pursuant to section 2113(h) of this title.

(h) A graduate of the University who is relieved of the

graduate's active-duty service obligation under subsection (b)

before the completion of that active-duty service obligation may be

given, with or without the consent of the graduate, an alternative

obligation in the same manner as provided in subparagraphs (A) and

(B) of paragraph (1) of section 2123(e) of this title or paragraph

(2) of such section for members of the Armed Forces Health

Professions Scholarship and Financial Assistance program.
