I am interested in joining the reserve, primarily the army reserve. Is it true that it is possible to join after completing PGY1 and getting your license and serving as a field surgeon as opposed to waiting until the completion of residency to serve as your specialty? If this is the case are there any downsides to doing so in comparison to waiting until after residency? I am not interested in STRAP or any of the other programs that have some sort of payback period.
