Hello all, I'm considering HPSP as a rising junior in college, and have some questions:
1. I think I read that you apply and get in to HPSP before you get into med. school, right? If so, how would this affect your chances of admission at the top schools? Would ADCOMs look on it well or poorly, or would they even know?
2. If I wanted to do a civilian surgery residency after graduation, and then a civilian trauma surgery fellowship-- could I do this or would I have to be a GMO and/or do a military residency?
3. If I did the above, I would have 11 years (4 med. school, 5 residency, 2 fellowship) towards rank before being active duty, right? So I would go in as a Major, then have 4 more years. Would there be any chance of getting to Lt. Colonel?
Thanks
