For a HPSP participant , is it possible to get accepted into military OMFS residency straight out of dental school? If so, is it true that as long as you don't take the 20k sign-on bonus, your HPSP payback years and OMFS residency payback years would be taken care of simultaneously?
For example, suppose you do a 4-year HPSP and get accepted into a military OMFS residency. Is the following payback timeline accurate?
4 years OMFS residency -> 4 years payback for HPSP and OMFS
Total time spent in the military as an active duty officer: 8 years?
Also, do you get paid as an OMFS resident in the military as someone doing HPSP? I think I saw it somewhere that if you did HPSP, then you're ineligible for pay and benefits while completing a military residency.
