Does anyone have any experience with successfully completing a waver to be unconditionally accepted to USUHS based upon medical history? Serving in our nation's military as a medical doctor has been a dream of mine for years, but unfortunately my medical history is going to get in the way. I'm a...

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...

I am currently a high school senior who is going to likely be offered an ROTC scholarship to help pay for my undergrad tuition. I also want to become a Radiologist, and I have been looking into one of the medical programs the air force has to offer, but what I've found is that any service...

Hi: I just got accepted into a U.S. medical school and I was interested in learning more about the 3-year HPSP for the Air Force or Army. Would it be too late for me apply this cycle? I assume that they have already been given out for the 4-year scholarships. Thank you very much and I...

Here to answer any questions about the HPSP program for dental school. It is one of our most competitive programs and any help I can give about the application process or other questions you have. I am a current Army Healthcare Recruiter so will only be able to give answers about the Army.

I feel like this is one of those hidden programs, so I wanted to answer any questions for anyone who has interest in this. Here is the official post from our 2017 program guide- Provides 2 and 3 year scholarships to students enrolled in or accepted to accredited optometry programs. Applicants...

Hi, I am applying this upcoming cycle and will hopefully be receiving interviews and acceptances later this year. When should I start meeting with recruiters, applying for thing, etc. I have quite a bit on my plate right now, so I've been putting that stuff off, but I'm wondering when would be...

Hello all, In an effort to keep this brief, I'll just give you the important details. I'm 36 (nov bday) and have been a civilian for since April 2015 after 15yrs of active duty Air Force (enlisted). I've been doing cyber security consulting with Ernst & Young since I got out. I left the...

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...

Hello! So I have read many preceding threads on this topic, but I have a different scenario I need some advice on. Also, some of the posts I read were pretty dated, so I want to make sure I have accurate information. Any input would be tremendously appreciated! A few weeks ago I was...

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...
