Hi,
I am currently a non-traditional applicant and will begin pursuing a post bacc program this fall. This means that I will not be able to apply to medical school until I am 26, and probably will not enter until I am 27. I will also have debt accrued from both my bachelor's program and post bacc program. I have been thinking about military medicine both because of the financial benefits, and also because of very personal reasons regarding the care of soldiers at home and abroad. I am in need of advice as I begin to pursue my studies in medicine, especially in regards to the experience of women in military medicine as I am sure this will differ greatly from men's. Most of the posts I have read are pretty negative, but will it make a difference if my interest is to be a specialist, as opposed to a primary care provider?
Thanks!
