I’m an army resident. Our programs are typically only open to active duty residents via HPSP or USUHS. Recently there has been a single VA sponsored slot at my program, but I hear that may be going away.
Can you speak to quality? I would think that the military would have the latest and greatest whiz-bang toys and a decent patient population to practice your skills on.

We’re probably middle of the road. We do certain things well and others are underrepresented. It comes down to our patient population and the overall mission of military medicine. Our equipment is decent, not cutting edge.
Agree- Overall, middle of road. The patient population is somewhat skewed; as a result we read more MSK MRs, and less complex peds and oncologic imaging than your average university-based civilian resident. Equipment can sometimes lag behind; some military programs still lack tomosynthesis, for example.
you army too? I'll knod my head like I know what tomosynthesis is.
