Hello,
I am applying for the HPSP for the army after being accepted to a US MD school. The location of Tripler would be wonderful for residency. From reading on the forum, you go where the army wants you to go. I do have an interest in primary care and general surgery and I know they offer military residencies pertaining to these specialities. I was wondering if anyone had any experience having their residency at Tripler? Any place to find accepted USMLE scores, grades, requirements, etc. I have am extremely interested in being an Army physician but I am researching all the opportunities that the army has to offer before I commit. I have had negative feedback from friends and family about applying for military medicine. The end game after serving would be to do short-term medical missions and work for a hospital back home. I believe the Army would provide a great education for this. Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you.
