Hey all, I was checking up on doing a pre-lim transitional year in the civilian world in case I don't match with the AF, and I came across this document on the AF's personnel site. Can anyone interpret this? I was especially curious about the whole pay thing...is the AF planning on paying me captain's pay during my internship year? Seems like a pretty sweet deal for the civvie institution if they don't have to pay me.
Attached is an example of the Training Affiliation Agreement that will be required for applicants who are selected for civilian sponsored training by the Joint Service Graduate Medical Education Selection Board. The agreement is between the Air Force and the civilian institution.

At this time, the form should be routed for informational purposes only. The applicant is not authorized to have the form officially routed or approved by the civilian training institution until after selection for civilian sponsored training by the JSGMESB.
If the applicant has any questions about the process of soliciting/obtaining civilian sponsored training, please contact the AFPC/DPAME, Physician Education Branch, at DSN 665-2638, (210) 565-2638 or (800) 531-5800.

MEDICAL RESIDENCY/FELLOWSHIP AGREEMENT
1. It is understood that ______________________________________ will take
(First name, MI, Last Name)
residency/fellowship training at _____________________________________in
(Name of Training Institution)
__________________ concurrently with his/her official Air Force duties from
(Specialty)
________________ to _______________.
(Start Date of Training) (Completion Date of Training)
2. It is understood that the training he/she will receive at this institution will be at no expense to the Government with the exception of the pay and allowances to which the trainee is entitled as a commissioned officer in the United States Air Force. It is also understood that the resident/fellow is prohibited from receiving a salary from the institution for his/her services as a resident/fellow. This does not preclude the institution from providing benefits other than salary that are incidental to the education/training. It is further understood that attendance at professional meetings or courses, required by the institution, and supplies and equipment, normally required as a part of his/her residency/fellowship, will be at no expense to the Government unless it is the normal policy at the institution that all residents/fellows in the same or similar training programs are individually responsible for financing such costs.
3. The institution agrees that the resident/fellow is an Air Force Officer training under authority of lawful orders issued by the Air Force. Accordingly, while performing such training, the resident/fellow is acting within the scope of his/her employment with the Air Force under Federal law. The provisions of 28 United States Code, section 2679, will immunize the resident/fellow from individual tort liability. It is understood that the United States will protect the liability of the resident/fellow only, and the United States may, in its representation of the resident/fellow, assert any defense available under State and Federal law. Although the resident/fellow is an Air Force Officer, for the purposes of liability the resident/fellow is a servant of the institution. This is because the resident/fellow will be performing duties under the exclusive control and for the primary benefit of the institution. Therefore, the institution agrees to provide, at its own expense, professional liability insurance in an amount that will satisfy all foreseen or reasonably foreseeable claims made against the resident/fellow, as well as to provide legal representation to the resident/fellow. The institution will notify the Air Force of the extent and nature of any applicable malpractice insurance and whether such insurance includes the resident/ fellow.
4. The institution agrees not to seek indemnification from the United States, the Air Force or the resident/fellow for any settlement, verdict or judgment resulting from any claim or lawsuit arising out of the performance of the resident/fellows professional duties in accordance with the terms of this agreement. The institution further agrees to furnish to the Air Force any and all documentation the Air Force considers necessary for the resolution of any claims or lawsuits against the United States arising from residency/fellowship as well as the evaluation of resident/ fellows professional qualifications.
5. The right is reserved for either party hereto to terminate this training agreement at any time by serving notice on the other party thirty days in advance of such action.
