Just a general question about the military match...


So, I take it as a 4th year med student you match first with your internship (surg, ped's, transitional, med, etc.).

Then the following year during internship, if not longer as a GMO, you match in the GME 2+ selection.

Is this the case?

If so, you will basically have no idea what you're really going into until you're done with internship year or GMO.

For instance you do a surg internship and think you're going to be a urologist. Then, after the internship you end up matching in neurosurg. I mean this is quite a bit of a difference in fields, unless of course you're a guy and then it's essentially the same gig.
