I'm doing navy HPSP - how easy is it to get involved in humanitarian work during residency at one of the big three? Afterward?

There have been residents sent out on the hospital ships during humanitarian cruises. They have also gone out on Amphibs to do the same.

After - depends on how aggressive you want to be. You need to get in good with the ops guys so when taskers come, they call you.
