Hi everyone,
I think I've read almost every thread on here about military medicine. I realize most people have negatives feeling towards it. I wanted to ask my own question because I feel like it's a little unique.
I consider myself very patriotic. I think of myself as an American before anything else. I've always had a desire to serve. I thought one day I would figure out how to mesh medicine and service my working with veterans. I've now started to consider hpsp or FAP. However, paying for medical school should not be an issue for me. My state schools are cheap and I have saved diligently since I started considering it in high school. Also, my undergrad is cheap. Given this, is hpsp the wrong way to go?
Finally, considering I would be doing this because of my desire to serve and not for the money, do you think I would be more likely to have a positive experience in the military?
Thank you for reading.
Best,
