Navy HPSP has a new website

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Here is what the site says about HPSP graduate medical education:

Graduate Medical Education (Internship and Residency).

Medical school scholarship students are required to apply for graduate medical education at a military training hospital in the fall of the year prior to graduation from school. If selected, you'll be called to active duty and assigned to an accredited internship at a Navy facility. Students may request to complete residency training in a civilian program (without receiving benefits from the Navy) depending on the needs of Navy Medicine. Following completion of residency training, you'll come on active duty and serve your active duty obligation. Assignments after internship and residency may include training in submarine or aerospace medicine, duty aboard Navy ships, with the Fleet Marine Force, or in a Navy hospital. Dental students can apply for an AEGD/GPR or simply do a credentialing year at some of the finest duty locations in the world. Your first year of training is recognized by the ADA and is fully accredited.

Looks like that paragraph needs some work. At first glance the paragraph looks misleading to me. For example the underlined sentence should be changed to "Following completion of INTERNSHIP or residency training, you'll serve your active duty obligation..."
