Hey SDN,
I am applying into EM 2014-15 match, but have been out of medical school for 4 years. I did an HPSP scholarship during medical school with the USAF, then an internship (transitional year UC Davis/Travis AFB) and after considerable additional military training, I've been a flight surgeon x 3 years. I have tried to involve myself in activities that demonstrate a consistent interest in EM over this time (ATLS instructor, EMS director for my base, considerable experience as Medical On-Scene Commander for large scale military mass casualty/disaster exercises etc).
However, there will be significant differences in my application package and those of 4th year medical students. For example, I will not have a SLOE. Should I have my commander fill out the standard SLOE? Should I just submit LOR's?
Any other tips for a non-traditional applicant like myself to ensure highest opportunity for success in the match?
Thanks for any insights in advance!
