Nick Bartlett

SEAL, US Navy

Duke University School of Medicine - MD

Nick was born in Southern California and enlisted in the Navy in 2007. He graduated Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL (BUDS) training with class 285. After SEAL Qualifying Training, he volunteered to attend the 9-month Special Operations Combat Medic (SOCM) school in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. During his first operation overseas, three of his teammates were wounded which required Nick to rely on all of the trauma skills he acquired as a SOCM. This event stirred in him a calling to the field of medicine. 

After deciding to go to medical school, Nick went back to college to finish his degree. In 2019, he graduated from Arizona State University, completing all required pre-medical coursework. Nick was awarded the Navy’s Health Services Collegiate Program (HSCP) scholarship. This unique program allows him to remain active duty while in medical school and commission as a Navy physician after graduation. He graduated from Duke University’s School of Medicine in Spring of 2024 and is excited to begin his Radiology residency at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, California.

Nick's desire is to serve in the medical corps until he retires, giving back to the men and women who sacrifice so much for our great country.
