Hey everyone!
I'm new to this area of SDN so I apologize if this question has already been posted.
I've recently been considering applying for the Army HPSP and I've been trying to research it as thoroughly as possible before working through that 51 page application. Yesterday I came across some articles saying that the DoD wants to reduce the number of medical personnel by a 15,000 or more in 2020 (see here). I was just curious how this would affect me as an HPSP recipient? I imagine they'll probably reduce the number of residency spots, right? I don't really want to go through with this if it will be meaningless by the time I graduate. I'm planning on asking my recruiter about this next time we talk, but I figured it might be more helpful to hear from some people on here as well.
