hello all,
Thanks for reading this post. I joined the navy hpsp program in my second semester of my 1st year med school. I didn't know I was the one supposed to schedule my ods training date then since my recruiter made me to believe that an hpsp agent would contact me for that. Because of this I have missed the training the only window I think was appropriate.
How do I go about obtaining this training before graduation? I do not want to do this training after graduation? All tips are greatly welcomed. Thank you all for time.

You will need to contact Mr. Green at the HPSP travel section. Although the 2010 class list has not been released, you can look at your schedule and see if there might be a 5 week window for you to fit it in between 2nd and 3rd. If you can't do it then, waiting until after graduation may actually be in your best interest. That question will be better answered once you have truly decided on a specialty.

If I wait until graduation, wouldn't that affect me like delaying my begining of internship and so on. Thank you.

Could it delay starting internship? Yes. So be it. Will it impact your selection for internship of your choice? No.

Does anyone know about when the 2010 schedule will be released, and when we can start signing up for 2010 ODS classes? Also, if one signs up as soon as it is possible, what are the odds they'll get the class they want? (if the schedule is similar to this year's then I'll need the very last one of the year and I don't want to miss it and have to wait until early 2011)

They usually come out in September.
