There was a post on this earlier this year and it seems like yes, you can do this. I also even see it advertised on a few medical/GME websites that as long as it is ACGME accredited, this is fine.
However, I cannot find anything specific to this in writing. I will be doing a fellowship upon leaving active duty and there was concern that this would be considered "double dipping" since fellowships were salary. I *thought* this would qualify as on the job training/apprenticeship, and it seemed like I should be fine from reading the OTJ training booklet, but there is nothing official on using this for fellowship or even residency.
Does anyone have an actual policy or something in writing from the VA on this?
