I've been reading on other forums about the long hours ortho residents work. Something like 120 hours a week. How many hours do military residents work? And would any of you have chosen a different residency if you were a civilian (or could do it over again)? Thanks.

military residents are still residents. used/abused the same as civilian, "80 hour work week" and all.

i'm not surgical, but i would not have chosen a different residency if i were civilian.
