I have spoken with several recruiters and have gotten conflicting information. Is there anyone on this board who has done Army (or Air) National Guard during medical training (medical school, residency, post residency...) who would be willing to help me with some questions? If you would rather PM that would be great too...
1) to serve in the Guard during medical school, does one go through basic training and OCS or is there a direct commission for the "medical profession"
2) what is the minimum contract time (perhaps this varies among states)
3) is deployment a possibility during medical school or only after getting an MD?
Thanks very much for your help, I'm wrestling with a lot of thoughts regarding the combination of military service and medical training/practice.
