Why Should Medical Students Consider Air Force Medicine?
In addition to the financial benefits of the HPSP scholarship program, there are many other advantages to Air Force medicine:
Great patient populations! Our patients include active duty members, their families, as well as retired military members and their families.
The ability to provide total care. One of the fundamental advantages of the military health system is the ability to render care to a patient without worrying about whether or not they can afford to fill their prescriptions or obtain a vital lab test.
Quality colleagues. No doubt about it, physicians who choose to serve in the military are a special group of highly trained, dedicated professionals.
Travel opportunities. Air Force physicians can be stationed at military clinics and hospitals all over the world and deploy in support of military operations. In addition, they also participate in a variety of humanitarian missions and specialized medical training all over the globe.
Potential for zero debt and better pay! Not only does a HPSP scholarship cover all tuition, books, fees, it also provides a generous monthly stipend. Once doctors graduate from medical school, they will find that the salaries and benefits of being a military resident or fellow in a military training program far exceed civilian averages.
Opportunity to be a leader and make a difference. Not only for individuals in your own community, but quite possibly for individuals and communities around the world.
