I am considering going in the Army and be a psychiatrist.

Although, medicine has been my primary choice of career, I was intimidated by cutting up a cadaver. Therefore, as a result, I have changed my degrees and career paths. Now, that I am a bit older I feel that being in the Army (I was prior service) and be a psychiatrist is what I want to do.

How can I be guaranteed that I won't be sick call doctor instead? For those who have recently gone to the program, please give me any pointers.

I have been thinking about this program now for a few years. Maybe if I know what to expect, I won't be as intimidated. As far as being a soldier or the possibility of deploying, I am ready for that.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Beep
