MS1 AF HPSP, I recently had a pretty bad ankle injury (no fracture based on what orthopod told me, but its been 2 months and I can barely jog 100 feet). Trying to rehab it and in great physical shape otherwise, can do pushups/situps ad naseaum, doing cycling to keep up cardio. I'm worried about...

Hey SDN, I've been fortunate enough to be accepted for the 4 year Navy HPSP scholarship! I was wondering, however, what the process of changing schools after I've submitted my AYS for another school entails? Would I be better served to just delay sending in my AYS (for another 2 weeks) until I...

Been working with a recruiter for the past few months on applying for the Navy HPSP. My application is complete but I am still waiting for a medical waiver for shoulder surgeries. Just curious if any one has heard anything from recruiters about the remaining scholarships available. Starting...

Please bear with me, I know a part of this question has probably been asked an infinite number of times on this forum. I'm wondering about the worth to the HPSP scholarship to my specific circumstance. Currently already 100K in debt from college and grad school loans and I won't even start...

Thanks for the view! I have a very strong personal conviction for orthopaedic surgery, and I don't much see that changing as I progress through my medical education, but I remain open-minded that it might. In any case, my question is in regards to the match rate for DO students who wish to...

Hey all, I was fortunate enough to receive multiple acceptances this cycle and would be grateful for feedback as I deliberate them. I am a Michigan resident and will be doing the HPSP scholarship through the Navy (unless I decide on USUHS). The schools I'm deciding on are USUHS, Thomas...

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...

Hey guys, I'm a MS1 AF HPSPer. I'm doing consistently above the avg of my class on exams, and my friend and I are thinking about starting a club in my medical school. Other than that, I have yet to get involved in research, but I have had enough time to workout, keep volunteering at the church I...

Hey Everyone, I've been fortunate enough to be admitted into the University of Pacific (a 3 year dental school), and I was wondering if it's still possible to convert a 4 year HPSP scholarship with the Navy to a 3 year scholarship? I'm willing to forgo the 20,000 dollar signing bonus provided I...

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...

My third year finishes (including taking boards) at the end of July. I've been trying to figure out whether it would be possible to do two back-to-back ADTs because of the whole "no ADTs allowed October 1-15" thing. I've reached out to the hpsp contact person but still awaiting a response. I was...

Hi SDN! I searched for information on this, but the closest I could find was a post in 2007 that didn't answer my question. I am currently a medical student and O-1 in the Army Reserve's MDSSP program. As part of the program, I am attached to APMC down in Georgia. I've read about the EFMB, and...

I am currenlty working as a Army Healthcare Recruiter. I have been doing so about 4 years. So far I have had HPSP in medical, dental, optometry, nurse practioner, CRNA and veterinary programs. I also have had someone accepted into the Masters in Social Work, GPN program at Baylor and LTHET...

Hey all, First let me say thank you for any insight. This forum has been very valuable throughout my pre-med experience and I appreciate it. I was recently accepted to several medical schools, including USUHS, and am trying to decide on the best pathway for myself. I've talked to several...

Hello! I am a current 3rd year (HPSP student-Army) and am looking into scheduling some away rotations for next year. The current bases that have OBGYN residency programs are: Walter Reed, SAMMC, Womack, Tripler, and Madigan. If anyone has completed an away rotation at any of these programs/is a...

Hey everyone, 2019 USAF HPSP here. Does anyone know how to access match rates for military residencies in the USAF? I know that the HPERB document gives the number of slots for each residency that the Air Force offers, but that information isn't really helpful when I don't know how many people...

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...

Is it too late to apply to Air Force HPSP for 4 year scholarship? My recruiter told me I can still apply by March? Is he correct?

Hi all. I'm currently AF enlisted considering HPSP, or at the very least, considering military residency (interested in OB/GYN atm). How does post-residency assignment work? Is there a dream sheet sort of system? Obviously it's ultimately up to AFPC, but is there a process of listing preferred...

I am a high school junior concerned about how I am going to pay for college and possibly med school, my ultimate goal. I just don't want to be paying off student loan debt for the rest of my life. I thought about the Air National Guard for undergrad but I'm worried about being deployed during...

Hi, I'm new to sdn, but have been reviewing forum posts about HPSP for the last couple of days. I am a senior in college, and have been recently accepted into medical school. I don't have a lot of money, and it worries me to even think if I will be comfortable in med school. Recently, I...

I work at a new medical college. We began our first semester on August 15. We have two Air Force HPSP students (our only two HPSP students) and are experiencing a delay of their scholarship proceeds. We are being told that there may be some new guidance or policy change issued in December of...

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...

For anyone wondering how much money you currently (9/16) take home after taxes from the HPSP signing bonus and monthly stipend: Of the $20,000 bonus I took home: $13,750 (about 68%) Of the monthly stipend: $936 x2 per month = $1,872 per month

Hi all! First, congrats to all those who received the 4 year- HPSP for the AF this past week. I am excited to one day serve alongside you! Now, for my questions: I have read tons of different boards about MEPS and how drawn out the process is. I have no major medical issues, i'm on pretty...

I am a third year who was Navy HPSP. I've been informed that the Navy medical review board has decided to discharge me for a h/o PE with a subsequent finding of slightly low Protein C levels that my doctor stated shouldn't be a worry. It is documented that the PE was caused by an injury that...

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere but I can't seem to find it. I commissioned last week and was wondering how long it has generally taken people to get paid. One person has told me as long as 8 weeks. Any other input would be greatly appreciated.

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...

All right bear with me... I'm pretty flabbergasted after the call I received today from the HPSP recruiter I have been working with for several months. To set the scene: I will be starting my first year in osteopathic medical school in 1 week. I had been planning on doing the Air Force HPSP...

Hey all! I'm currently working on my secondary application for USUHS and was wondering if anyone affiliated with military medicine could read through it and give me some feedback. I appreciate it. Thank you!

Hey all! I've searched high and low for a thread for those applying for the Air Force's HPSP and failed to find one. Any one else applying? My package is finished and I interview next week! I know the board meets July 28th or 29th! I heard we could hear as early as August on who gets it! Any...

Hello I am currently going through the Navy HPSP and would like to hear from anyone with experience going through similar situations. I understand the ins and outs of GMO circumstances, I am interested in learning more from personal experiences including Flight Surgeons, UMOs, and the...

I have read that the military will reimburse you for your health insurance premium if your school requires you to have a certain amount of coverage. If I get a cheaper policy will they reimburse me for that amount or the amount of the school's policy? I ask because I am trying to stretch the...

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...
