There have been a number of med students ask similar questions. Additionally, there have been a number of physician's who have asked about getting into the community.
Refine your search, you may find the answer you are looking for. Bottom line, you will need to be in Emergency Medicine to maximize your chances...then do at least 1-2 tours with an infantry unit, then apply to get assigned to Special Operations.
While it has been done that a physician or two has gone to the Q course...these chances have gotten much more rare. If you want to do "Special Forces"...your best bet is to do that FIRST, then go to medical school SECOND.
That being said - never pass up the shot at an education.

Good luck in your decision.
