Unfortunately last week I found out I did not match into a competitive specialty. Still considering rebuttal specialties (rads, path, IM, FM, peds) but my heart is with the specialty I applied for. Most likely I’ll end up doing a TY and apply again for a PGY2 spot. Worst case scenario is I don’t match again, in which case I’d become a GMO. How feasible is consulting as a career post military if I finished my obligation as a GMO…if necessary (I will still continue to reapply as GMO and as civilian)? Only asking because I have a hard time seeing myself happy with a different specialty.
