Advice, please.
1] Accepted to Touro. Interviewed @ LECOM.
Still no word from LECOM. Heard that the
acceptances, rejections, and holds go out
in the mail together and that they are way
behind and only meet sporadically. Has anyone heard anything regarding this? I
am really hoping to get into LECOM. I'm glad
I got into Touro though as a back-up.
2] I am 29 years old. If I accept the NAVY
HPSP I will graduate debt free. I will do a 3-4 year residency and then work for the
NAVY for 4 additional years. When I finally
get out to work in private practice, I am
suddenly 41 years old. That kind of sucks, doesn't it? But on the other hand I will be
free of debt and have good experience. Plus
I might want to try to do Flight Surgery.
Really, though, I always thought I should do
family practice. Now let's talk about money.
You cannot deny it, it is important to consider. How soon do you think you could
pay off school if you financed it yourself (entirely) (PRIVATE SCHOOL)? How much am I going to make as a DO in the Navy? Am I too old to do this? If I do a Navy residency, will they or can they increase my time debt to the Navy? Please opinionate.
