Hey guys
I spoke to a recruiter today about becoming an sf doctor. They said all the same things I already have heard.
It's possible but hard to do if you are commissioning as a doctor.
Also she said that it depends in leadership.
But she did make an interesting suggestion.
She said that you could enter the army after you become board certified as an board certified physician and enter the army as an E4. When you enter you can than try and get into the special course you want in this case being ranger or q course and after being selected you can than tell them you are a board certified doctor and than practice either before or after deploying.
I asked her if they would make me stay on as something other than a doc after I get through the course she said no they can't stop you from applying to amed.
Any thoughts on what they are telling me? Genuine or not genuine?
How badly would my medical career be hurt if I went through the q course and was out of medical practice for 2 years as compared to the 61 days for ranger school?
Thanks
