Hello everyone!
Stopping by for some input; appreciated all the assistance in my last post! So a little background...I grew up wanting to be an Airborne Ranger in the US Army and then compromised with my parents as there is little future in the infantry once your physical health starts to decline. My father is a career serviceman and my family has a long standing history of service to the country. I would like to pursue the HPSP and serve for a while in the United States Army as a physician. However, most of the schools I am interested in attending either state their mission to have an emphasis on bringing primary care physicians to the country or physicians to under-served areas. I do have an interest in serving rural populations and the like after my time in the Army, but have concerns that stating that the military is a guiding factor for my decision to become a physician might cause issues. Thoughts?
