I'm still trying to make a decision on whether or not to take a Navy HPSP...please help with some info...
Is it possible to serve out four years as a gmo after PGY-1, then leave? Will your active duty commitment be fulfilled, or do you have to apply to a military residency afterwards? Also, is training to be a FS considered part of active duty?
I want to serve the Navy after my residency, but I don't want to be stuck in a specialty I really don't like, and I don't want to go do a crappy residency, so I was thinking that I would sign on as a civilian doctor after my residency. I definitely want to be a FS for a period of time (not forever though...I don't want to be single for the rest of my life), so I thought that HPSP would work out for me.
Any info/advice would be great. Thanks!
