Dear All,
How arduous are Military (esp. Army) residencies as compared to civilian ones? Are the 30 hour shifts and the like as prevalent in the world of military medicine as they are in civilian life?
One one hand, it seems plausible. The Army has a very Charlie Mike attitude, but on the other a resident in the military is an officer, not a "under-thing" as in civvie hospital culture.
Bonus points for anyone who's been in a Family Medicine role in a military residency.
