Navy, National Guard, Air force....?

[Adaggiote]

I recently received a military (i.e. Nation Guard) pamphlet in the mail that told me how I could change my life by serving. I immediately became interested and began doing the necessary paperwork online.....

Has anyone been a part of any of these military recruitment programs and then gone to med school. What kind of clinical opportunities do they offer? What have you experienced personally?

if a pamphlet in the mail is all it took to convince you one way or the other, i think you might be a perons who needs to sleep on it...


there is an active milimed forum further down.

If this is not the military scholarship program for medical students, I'd be very careful of signing up for anything. Even then, you should take time to think this over and speak to not just a recruiter but family members and others who have served before or may have been in the scholarship program.

OK, but I will take a look at the forum down under to see if there is anything useful...In the meantime, if anyone has any experience from these military recruitment programs, please speak up.

As was said, check out the Military Medicine Forum. There is even a sticky addressing exactly these issues
