I wanted to put this out there to help others with similar aspirations make the most of their Education benefits. If you can enter a MD, DO, DDS, etc. program with all your benefits intact, you will put each month to good use, as the annual max now is around $23k, not including Housing...

For anyone in Army HPSP: I'm recently enrolled in HPSP and now have MODS access. My recruiter advised me to stay on top of things in the MODS discussion forum. However, every time I attempt to click and access the forums (and also my messages) under the "Bulletin Board" section, It logs me out...

Hi, I originally posted this in the combined degree forum but was told I may have better luck here, I am currently a pre-med student looking into combined degree programs. I am looking at MD/MBA or MD/MHA, but for this question, the combination of degrees is largely irrelevant. I am also an Army...

If I apply to a specialty program (prosth/endo/etc) straight from school, but am not selected, do I automatically get entered into the running for a slot in the 1Y AEGD program? If so, do I have to submit a separate personal statement/MoI (as my personal statement would be geared toward the...

Starting a thread for those who are applying to HPSP for the next cycle. Feel free to share info or ask questions. I will try and keep updated numbers, stats or anything that will help you apply. I can also help you find a good healthcare recruiter if you are applying Army. Good luck!

I'm a rising MS4 about to apply to civilian general surgery programs with the end goal of being a trauma/CC surgeon. I elected against USUHS and HPSP so that I could have more options for residency training. Given that I don't have any military experience I am looking for some advice on a few...

Hello all! I've been stalking through SDN for a couple years now, but this is the first time I've posted. I'm currently a Cadet at a service academy (Kinesiology major), junior, currently in the final roster for the pre-medical program here. Basically the program is that you complete at...

Based on the timeline for announcements sent last fall with the location survey wishlist form, it would appear that the Army's HPSP Class of 2017 assignment locations will be announced between March 15- April 15. Has anyone heard anything yet about where they will be stationed this year? I...

Just out of sheer curiosity, will interns at a military hospital be allowed to wear scrubs and a black fleece (no logos)? I know they can wear scrubs+white coat, but what about going sans white coat or pairing scrubs with a black fleece? Is there a "uniform code" interns must strictly follow...

Please explain some of the pros and cons of Army vs. Navy HPSP. Like culture, locations, residencies and total years committed. I am about to pick one of them. I have read some other posts, but just wanted the most updated info and to clear up some things I still don't know. Some websites...

First, I want to thank you for taking the time to read through my post. I have read through many of the threads here and took those to tailor to my specific situation. I have been driving myself crazy going back and forth since I heard back with acceptances and best for me to do at this point...

Hello, Is anyone on here a current or past Army Infectious Disease specialist? If so, where were you stationed? What was your typical workweek like? What was your caseload like? Is there anything that you particularly like/dislike about ID milmed? I'm just looking for experiences and opinions...

I accidentally posted this in the military medicine forum so I'm hoping to get more luck here: Hello all, I just finished up my DAT and am happy with how it went. That being said, I'm turning my attention towards applying for Ed delay and the HPSP scholarship now. We've had AMEDD recruiters...

Hello all, I just finished up my DAT and am happy with how it went. That being said, I'm turning my attention towards applying for Ed delay and the HPSP scholarship now. We've had AMEDD recruiters come in and talk to us in the past and I thought I remember them saying that there were certain...

Hi all, My topic is concerned with loans most of us aspiring doctors are all too familiar with and an important decision I have coming up. Let me start with a (somewhat) brief background: I have a very, shall we say, "different" background. I always wanted to be a doctor, did well in high...

Hey all, Been reading for awhile, but haven't been able to post anything because I couldn't get my phone to authorize and my computer required online authorization from my phone. Go figure. I'm going to be a non-traditional student in a few years (hopefully). I was a biology major, spanish...

I have been thinking about multiple routes I could take to pay off college, as well as have a career in the field of Pharmacy. In college I was approached by the Navy and the recruiter about a program they have where they provide you with a monthly stipend, pay off your college, and if I'm not...

Hello all, I've scoured the threads and have found multiple answers to the possibility of going from four years of active duty service as a commissioner officer to medical school, usually with the intention of entering the private sector. My intentions are similar, expect that I would hope to...

Good Evening, OM3 Here. I was curious if anyone had any thoughts on these three residency programs? some questions... Which one trains the best psychiatrist, which one has the best staff to get along with, which one provides the best work life balance, etc. Thanks for the help, it is very much...

Has anyone recently gone through OB GYN rotations at any military hospital that could shed light on how they compare? I would also love to hear from any current resident about their thoughts on where to apply to rotate and perform a residency.

Hello All! I'm in my last year of residency in Psychiatry. I have 16 years of National Guard time and am in drill status currently. I used the Army National Guard ASR program as a medical student and am currently getting loan repayment, year for year to the tune of $40K (actually $30K after...

Just started M1 I am really interested in applying for the 3 year Army HPSP program. However, I've talked to a couple of different recruiters who told me that they aren't offering any 3 year scholarships this year. Anyone else run into this? Should I simply contact a different recruiter until I...

Hello everyone. My friend has just been placed on the Order of Merit list for the ARMY AMEDD HPSP. Her recruiter has told her that this doesn't necessarily mean anything at this stage. It's not a guaranteed acceptance, not a decline; basically it's a waitlist. She was a competitive applicant for...

Hey everyone. I am a first year med student and an ARMY HPSP student and Im having so much trouble with DEERS and trying to get my ID. So I was supposed to get my ID a while ago but the DEERS office had entered my name into their system BACKWARDS so now I was unable to get my ID. I had to...

I'm going to get straight to the point. Roommate gave me a brownie without me knowing that had marijuana in it, and I'm supposed to commission in a little over a week for army HPSP. I got in a REALLY big fight with him, but don't want to get him in trouble since he's very apologetic and also a...

Hello guys - I am considering joining the ARNG or the Reserves with 24 month stabilization while completing residency (endo). I have heard some positive and negative things about whether it is worth it. I understand the location and unit will largely dictate the overall experience. I would...

I have heard that time spent doing a residency abroad doesn't count towards accreditation in the US. However, is it possible to do residency on a US base abroad and have that count? Also is it possible to do residency on a base if you are not employed by the Navy or Army ( I don't think I'm...

Hello All, I know this topic is beaten to death on SDN, but I was accepted into a good state MD (allopathic) medical school. I am considering the HPSP scholarship with the Navy. I understand that financial motives alone are not sufficient enough to make it a logical choice, and the...

Hello Milmed, Incoming M1 here- currently working on both AF (3-year) and Army (4-year) HPSP scholarships. I have been researching both of these scholarships and the fine print associated with both. I have decided I would be okay with becoming a flight surgeon in the AF, but I can't find very...

Read the prior threads...still looking for some input. I'm an active Army Officer working as an Executive Officer (Roughly 60 to 70 hours a week...maybe more but I don't want to overestimate...deployed once...ramping up for Afghanistan deployment currently) and there is no way possible I can...

Hi All, I was accepted to the HPSP for the Army this fiscal year and was wondering if anyone has an idea about duty stations after licensure? I'm aware of the five internship sites, and sites for post-doc/fellowships, but can't seem to find information on where folks go next in the behavioral...

Hello, SDN! I come here humbly seeking the advice of those before me. I am due to leave active-duty Army by the end of the year, and I am going to get back on the med school track after. Ideally I wanted to apply for a post-bacc, pre-med program, but I have too many science credits from the...
