I am a prior service enlistee, so I understand that 1 yr of HPSP scholarship in med school= 1 year commitment. Now my question is:
Scenario 1: After 4 years of med school, If I go through military residency (and most likely, I will), let's say for 4 years, is that another 4 years of commitment in addition to the years already incurred from med school? 4+4= 8 years of commitment?
Scenario 2: If I only apply for 3 years scholarship, and I go through civilian residency; how much commitment will I have?
Question 3: What are the chances of matching with civilian residency?
At the end of a military residency you will owe either the number of years you owed at the start of the residency, or the length of the residency (not counting Intern year), whichever is more.I am a prior service enlistee, so I understand that 1 yr of HPSP scholarship in med school= 1 year commitment.

It's in every residency contract.can you cite this?
See perrotfish’s explanation for how it works. The 8 years total active duty in that senario includes the four years of residency.can you cite this?
It makes sense. You end up owing 8 years, but since residency is 4 years (and it counts as payback): 8-4=4. 4 more years of commitment after residency.
Now I have one more question:
Let's say I go for the HPSP scholarship for 4 years. What's the time line going to be?
4 years med school- 4 years residency- 4 years commitment.? Where does the GMO and Internship fall?
What is a GME? is this synonymous to residency? Or is this a commitment in addition to residency and HPSP?
Where are you getting the 10 years from here? When I was doing the calculation... it was still 8 years.

So if I'm understanding this correctly (assuming a 3 year residency after 1st year internship), from the scenarios you have given me:
Scenario 1:
+4 yrs med school (HPSP) --> 1 yr PGY-1 (internship) --> 3 yrs residency = 4 more years of service obligation after residency.
8 years total in the military given that PGY-1 is already considered Active duty.
Scenario 2:
+4 yrs med school (HPSP) --> 1 yr PGY-1 (internship) --> -2 yrs GMO (pays off 2 yrs of HPSP) --> 3 yrs residency = 2 more years obligation after residency.
still 8 years total military service starting from PGY-1.

Thanks for the detailed response!
However, i just spoke to a recruiter and he told me that if I will be applying for a 4 year scholarship, i will NOT incur commitment from GME. I will only owe the original 4 years from the HPSP scholarship.
Now... idk which one is true. I mean no disrespect, but are these answers based on your own experiences? Are you an HPSP student?
So let's say I'm going for anesthesiology: PGY1 Internship + 3 years of residency. Is it possible to only use the HPSP scholarship for the last 3 years; and only incur a 3-year ADSO after residency, since PGY-1 doesn't count?
