I agree with the wise Faha

The question I will have is how important your native American identity was as you were growing up and as your professional identity. I don't know if your mother's tribe is affiliated with the Southwest or perhaps New England where you are located. I just ask because of NHSC possibilities and FQHC's. HPSP possible if you want military medicine.

 

[Mr.Smile12]

That's understandable. I just note there are some programs that do have a focus on indigenous community health. I don't know if NHSC gives you a path to work for IHS. Some of the schools that really are immersed in Native American health and culture:

Attracting more Native American students to medicine

Without a supportive pathway program, I wouldn’t be entering medicine. If we’re going to train the Native American physicians we need, we must build many more.

If you are truly curious about reconnecting with this history, it's worth investigating.

You can also see if any of the schools have support systems for children of military parents.
