Hello All
I apologize in advance if this topic has already been covered somewhere, but I have searched for answers to these questions with no avail. I am a 4th year medical student who applied for Ortho this year but instead matched into my back up Prelim Surgery position. I am not in the military currently but I am extremely interested in joining and possibly doing a military Ortho residency. Here are my questions:
Can I join the military and apply for military residencies during my prelim year?
Can I apply to military Ortho residencies before I sign a contract with the military? (If I don't match Ortho in the military, I will opt to pursue it through the civilian match)
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
