Hi,
I'm a first year medstudent HPSPer and have a question concerning the effect doing a GMO tour has on your chances of matching into a civilian spot after you've paid back your time. I'm interested in EM and ENT (for now) which I know are competitive. Will paying back my time first hurt my chances for getting a spot? Logistically it seems like it might be difficult getting recommendations since years have passed since clerkship years. Are there other reasons why a GMO tour would worsen my chances? Would it be easier to apply for both another internship year and residency? Thanks alot
