A doctorate degree in medicine from a accredited medical school.
A passing grade on at least one states, medical board exam.
Basicly, you become a doctor, then join the military.
If you want emergency medicine, then you need a civilian emergency medicine speciality while in med school and your residency.

Graduate of a recognized medical school. etc.
Licensed to practice medicine in at least one US state.
Have to meet the physical standards. (Height, weight, physical fitness, no drugs in system, etc)
No criminal background other than simple speeding and parking tickets.
No conviction of domestic violence.
No drug use other than pot "years ago."
If you are accepted, you probably will go in as a Captain. Since most charge positions are major and higher, you may be under the command of a nurse or dentist. I have seen dentists and nurses as hospital commanders!
Keep in mind even though your specialty is emergency medicine, that may not be all that you do. That kind of specialty would be limited to the larger medical facilities and everyone has to do their time at smaller bases and overseas.
First you are an officer so you may be put in charge of something. Like the entire ER and all the staff. That may also include the ICU in smaller facilities.
Second, you may be required to do training of others, such as ACLS and ATLS.
Third, you will have to take a bunch of military courses that may or not be related to medicine. Chemical Warfare, small arms training, etc.
You may want to go for flight surgeon. Besides the extra training, you get to fly a lot.

Forget the website. You need to talk to someone in-person.
Call your local Air Force recruiter. They can put you in touch with the Medical Specialist recruiter.
Good Luck!

My brother is a doc in the AF. He did AFROTC (which offered alot of scholarships) in college and did earn his undergraduate degree, then was commissioned. The AF paid for his med school (and paid him to go to school). He then owed them 8 years of service after med school. Of course 4 of those years were his residency.
Now he is a Pediatrician and just got stationed in Japan.

There are what they call physician recruiters and you need to contact one of them. A regular recruiter can refer you to one of them and they can give you all the information.

Most bases no longer have an ER so it will be extremely difficult to get into that field.
