The Society of Uniformed Services Psychiatrists (SUSP) is hosting a webinar on Navigating the Military Application Process in Psychiatry with...

Pardon me if this post is not in line with the rules. Full Disclosure: I just accepted an offer for the Navy HSCP Scholarship, and I am promoted from E-6 to E-7 if I make a referral which results in a navy medical officer program accession (which is a decent pay increase). If you are planning...

Hi all - first major post here. I am a Pediatric Dentist with a deep family history of military service. I have not heard very much about Pediatric Dentistry roles with the US Armed Services. Does anyone have information about lifestyle, bases, practice style, etc.? I would love all input. Thanks.

Hello all, If anyone has questions or comments regarding the Army-Baylor Program feel free to post them here. I have a decent amount of information that I can relay from applying last year but would highly recommend attending one of the virtual briefings of the program that you can sign up for...

Also why didn't you opt for the minimum service length of 2 years? Just out of curiosity. Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone! I'm currently applying for the Army-Baylor DPT Program. Starting a thread to connect with other applicants. A little about me. I served 8 years active duty on submarines in the Navy. I have been in Navy Reserves for the past 3 years. This is my first time applying.

Hi everyone, I have been working with an HPSP recruiter and today they asked me to send a picture of my social security card and birth certificate for my security clearance since I am currently living 14 hours from the town where my recruiter is and cannot go in person to have them scanned. I...

Also what was your experience like? - What branch/specialty are you in? - Were you active duty prior? - What was a typical drill weekend like? - Were you ever promoted in the reserves? - How many times did you get to deploy throughout your career? Plus anything else that comes to mind.

Is anyone on here applying for the Navy HPSP Clinical Psych program? I am submitting my packet soon and wanted to see who all was also applying!

Greetings, I am applying for Army and Navy HPSP and wondering whether accepting the 20k bonus for Army will bind me to the Army program even if I get accepted to the Navy after. Should I reject the 20k army bonus in hopes that I get into Navy HPSP? Or can I sign for the Army bonus and go Navy...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has applied for the HPSP with the Navy this spring and is waiting to hear back or has heard back. I thought the selection committee met on March 22 or so, but maybe that's not enough time to have made selections and told the applicants. I'm in my first...

So I have yet to reach out to the Air Force (which I’m told is even more selective) or army officer recruiters. But I was speaking with a navy recruiter today about the FAP who told me I wouldn’t qualify to join the navy as an officer because of my poor undergraduate GPA (I graduated in 2013 and...

Navy HPSP here! From my understanding the navy only allows FTOS to be 4-year programs. With externships being a little limited, I have little knowledge of quality 4-year programs. I am interested in orthognathics, trauma, implants, and everything in between. Can you guys help me out and list...

Hi all! I want to start by saying I've done a good bit of research on the HPSP, all branches of military dentistry, and all of the disqualifications. I have not applied for the HPSP yet, just in the process of talking to a navy recruiter. It's always been a dream of mine to serve in the Navy as...

TL;DR: I have a bunch of questions and need advice lol Hello everyone. I am currently a second year dental student with a 4 year HPSP payback obligation. I am interested in pursuing a residency with the Navy after dental school, but am unfortunately very lost on how to do so. I have been...

Hey guys, I'm a D3 exploring oral surgery and will take the CBSE in August 2020. I plan on applying in the FY21 cycle ending in May 2021, which is my graduation month. I understand that I cannot start residency until the next year after getting accepted. Is there anyway I can apply for a...

I know there is no ”Charting Outcomes“ report for the military match like there is with the NMRP, but is there any record of placement percentage into residency vs GMO in the Navy at least? Would be interested to see what percentage of applicants are going straight through residency vs. GMO...

Just noticed there aren’t any residencies/fellowships for vascular surgery listed in the annual BUMEDNOTE 1424. Are all our vascular surgeons direct commissions or are there occasional GME opportunities? I know we had one in my Medical Battalion when I was on AD but not met another one since.

Do military members applying to VA programs have preferential treatment compared to civilians applying? The application paper work asks if you have prior service. Is this the same type of deal as when applying to civilian jobs in the VA where there is a clear preference and job ranking for prior...

Hello all, I have been doing research for the past year and a half on military medicine. I am very set on joining the military as a doctor. Currently, I am leaning towards USUHS and the HPSP is my backup plan for if I do not get in. One thing that is incredibly hard to find research on is time...

Starting Medical School this August and would like to stay in a drilling status if I can. The instruction on this (RESPERMAN 1001-020) isn't the clearest but it seems like I will have the same likelihood of mobilization as any other sailor. Has anyone remained in the SELRES during school and...

So I am currently submitting a package for both CSO and NFO. I also have Pilot down for both, but my recruiters say my packages leans heavily towards the former. Should I not get Pilot and go CSO or NFO, I plan to go to medical school after my commitment. I am just having difficulty deciding...

Hi! I am currently on a year off between 2nd and 3rd year. I am a Navy HPSP student and have been having some health issues since starting my year off. My physicians now think this may be due to MS. I get my MRIs after Christmas. Can I stay HPSP with MS? I just want to know what to expect. If...

Hey Everyone, Please point my in the right direction if this has already been addressed thoroughly somewhere. I'm having trouble finding some of the basic answers for how Navy GME works, what I need to do to be competitive, if and how I can do visiting rotations at Navy locations, and if that...

I am 37 years old with a bachelors degree in accounting which I recieved in 2003. I don’t have any premed on my transcript except General Biology 1 and 2 which I made a C and B respectively. I don’t have any prior military service record. Is it too late for me to get a commission in the Navy...

Hey all, I've wanted to become a doctor for most of my adult life, but I don't think I've ever been in a particularly good position to start planning the process again until now. I've had a run in with cancer and my urology and hem/onc teams were fantastic. I want to give back. Background...

I was wondering how many other people on here have a military SO/spouse and are wondering what their options are for residency. Of course I will be looking into ACGME residencies near my SO's base and am aware that we may have to continue being LDR for the entirety/some of my residency. Has...

FYI to people wanting to work in the military post-dental school. If you have asthma (like me), you are more then likely not going to be able to. I spoke to a recruiter on the phone and he said I may be able to get it waived after telling them I played NCAA hockey and that my asthma is mild, so...

Hey guys, So I am entering my D1 and have been on the phone with my current dentist. He has been pushing me to go the Navy/Army route. I am super interested as it makes the most sense financially, however, I am unsure. I have a serious girlfriend and we will be engaged within a year or so. She...

Hello All I've been interested in joining the reserves following gen surg residency (presently newly minted pgy3) but have been torn between what branch to join. I've narrowed to navy vs army since they appear to be the more active for gen surg and in more need. I have an interest to also join...

I am currently DPT student, first year. I want to commission or work for the military upon graduation and need experience in military settings before then. My school only has about 3-4 locations that are military related (one of them being Walter Reed, which is very selective so I'm hoping I can...

Looking for advice from peeps that are currently considering, have applied, or have accepted the HPSP scholarship. Obviously the dollar value of the scholarship is essentially unmatched. I am considering going into a surgical speciality and I don't think that is likely to change over the...

so is there absolutely no need at this point? i'm a current pharmacy student looking to apply for like a 3 or 2 year scholarship. i've spoken with a recruiter, but he's very smoke and mirrors about most things. i've completed pre-screening and MEPs. so far so good. i'm familiar with the...

[Don't know if I'm posting in the wrong forum] Hi all, I'm currently a junior in college. I always expected to go straight to medical school, but now after a lot of soul searching I realized that going to med school and residency for 7+ years in my 20's just doesn't seem like the right path...
