[QUOTE="phil413ru, post: 437301, member: 17063"] Hi- I am an Army ROTC cadet applying to Med school. I can answer some of your questions in relation to Army. (From what I have researched and/or know). First off, the pay is not comparable to civilian. For example, Orthopedic sugeon in civilian field can make half-million. Top pay in Army (top paying job in Army) is $170,000. That is with experience, rank and time in. The military is not an occupation you want to go into if you want to make a lot of money. The nice part though is that you don't start out hundreds thousands dollars in debt. You also don't have to pay malpractice insurance. Residencies- If you are on military scholarship or attend USUHS, you will have military residency. You will work probably at one of major hopitals-Madigan(WA), Tripler (HI) or Walter Reed (DC). I think military residencies are preferrable--especially since you will be practicing in military, it is better to practice miliary medicine and become accustomed to both medical and military life (especially if HPSP). In summers, you shadow military/government based medical practicioner. You may work at one of above hospitals or at one of the smaller clinics as a primary care practicioner. With USUHS, you have field training where you learn field medicine, and leadership training. (land nav, rifle/9mm (not sure which) qualification and basic military skills. Also-participate in Army Physical Training (PT ) three times week. For training prior to first year, see following link [url]http://www.cs.amedd.army.mil/obc/HPSPJun02/HPSP02_index.htm[/url] From my research, the quality of USUHS is comparable to any other Medical school--if not more. They have same expectations becaus government wants the best. Not only will you be a physician, but also an officer in United States military. You get same clinical training as regular MD school and additional training in military medicine and emergency field medicine. As to residency of your choice, if you are on scholarship or USUHS, you will attend military residency. You probably will be able to have major choice. (I am not positive on this) However, realize like in other areas of military, it may depend on needs of Army or whatever branch. Usually (like in ROTC) the military will place you where you want to be because they want you to be happy. (Re-enlist when time comes) This is just what I have researched. If any current med students out there, correct me if I am wrong. Hope this helps!
