I cut and pasted this from another thread cause it's buried too deep there.
I'm still a bit unsure about the process of entering a specialty after school. Assuming you're a top notch student and competitive to get a specialty program, is the Navy going to kill your plan b/c they need you as a GP? This link http://www.nomi.med.navy.mil/pages/n...talliaison.htm
says it's rare to get in and only 5 out of 70 HPSP students were permitted to defer to a residency. Do you think that's b/c only 5 out of 70 were accepted into a program or were some some poor sods denied their specialty?
I'm mostly interested in this for the navy but if you know about the air force too I'd like to hear. Thanks!
