From what I know to, there are only two options for officers to go to medical school and civilian residency after completing service obligations: 1) resignation and 2) transfer to reserve.
My questions are:
1. Are there other options to gurantee to be able to do civilian residency?
2. If officers resigns his/her commission, finish medical school+residency, then rejoin as a military physician, will thier will retain his/her previous rank?
3. If officers transfers to reserve,
3.1. What reserve unit will be transfered to? IRR-VTU or SELRES or other?
3.2. Can an officer request to be transfered to their prefered unit?
3.3. What type of drills to do to earn retirement point? Will it be too much to do the drills together with studying medicine?
3.4. Are the drills difference in each reserve unit?
3.5. If the drills location, for example NOCS, is very far from the medical school, will an officer allow to do the drills somewhere else that is near his/her medical school?
3.6. Officers who is transfered to reserve, will they considered as reserve officer? What are the difference?
