[@spideylover4105]

I'm HPSP. Correction-we do NOT do basic military training, or BMT. We do a modified version of officers training that varies slightly by branch but is farrrrr different from basic. It's also worth nothing that while practicing (after residency) civilian definitely pays better, military residencies actually pays better. (About 70k). They also generally aren't as hellacious because of additional regulations (welcome to the military!) so in general the hours are better. IN GENERAL. You'll also rarely be deployed basically unless you want it. Think about it- they just spent 200k-400k paying for you to go to school, then 3-5 years training you. Do you really think they'd risk you getting shot after all that?

@@lsampierlsampier4923 I think you're misunderstanding. After residency is when you "pay back" with years of service working as a full-on doctor.

[@renaewilson8185]

@@lsampierlsampier4923 There is a published military pay scale which determines pay based on rank and years in service. All military officers of any job are given this base pay for their entire career, whether it's payback or not. Some jobs, such as physician, are given bonuses on top, and there are a variety of other bonuses that come from extra/alternate duties like combat, flight, and sea pay. The payback period does not affect your pay at all, only how long you are required to keep working and getting paid.

[@Spencer_Thatcher]

3 CRITICAL points missing 1. Your years in residency DO NOT count for your time obligations. Your 4 years for HPSP and 7 years for USUHS wont start until you are board certified. Therefore, expect between 7 to 12 years of your life to be dedicated to military practice. 2. It's worth mentioning that you will not work with billing and insurances. Everyone you see is required by UCMJ (United Code of Military Justice) law to follow your diagnosis, treatment plans and prescriptions, your patients are regularly drug tested and are required to maintain a healthy weight and exercise daily. You wont be up late after seeing patients dinking around with insurance companies and wont have to worry about denying people a specific test because they're not covered. It's a life of pure doctoring your patients. That's a double edged sword though because when you get out you WONT have the medicine as a business experience like your civilian peers. 3. For those thinking "At 12 years plus my 4 at USUHS I might as well go to retirement," bare in mind your years for residency and school will not count for time in service BUT will be added to your pension. That means assuming you have no prior service time you will retire 20 years from the date you graduate residencie and at that time they will also add 7-12 years onto your retirement essentially taking your pension and adding to it. Now I'm grandfathered into the old half pay at 20, three-quarters at 30, full pay at 40 plan so I unfortunately dont know how the new retirement plan works but the years applied is still true if you want to make it to retirement. EDIT: I'm reading some HPSP recipients making claims that you wont be deployed. You WILL go where you are told and when you are told. Always have the mindset that anyday you will be give a call to serve. Be prepared to engage the enemy and fulfill your duties as a physician. NEVER accept the mentality that you are just using the services as a means to enrich your life. You ARE an American Soldier/Airmen/Sailor! If you're not willing to risk your life for your brothers and sister in the box then stay the hell out and be a civilian doctor, you're not wanted. You love the military, you love being a military doctor, you want to serve because you want to be part of the most elite force on the planet. Dont ever take advice from someone who talks about how easy or posh its gonna be. Go in with the mentality that you want every hardship, deployment, struggle and trial that can possible happen because you want to serve for good or bad. If you're like that then I welcome you to my elite family, we need you and we want you.

[@ThienTruong-iy5ix]

Logistics aside, what was your experience being a military doctor?

[@rockoquels]

Are you a military doctor?

[@Spencer_Thatcher]

Alright let's get some questions answered. I was enlisted for 8 years, went to school and was contracted with the DoD to be a educational council specialist. My civilian job while going to college was to work with recruiters to ensure veterans recieved all there benefits. I regularly work with the AMEDD recruiters, in fact I help author some of the SOP for there book. I know just about ever reg and stipulation for Military medical education. I was accepted into Medical and have first hand experience with the process. I did not attend USUHS but know everything that goes on there from both my personal visits and my peers who did attend that institution. With that out of the way I'm happy to address any questions you all may have.

[@Spencer_Thatcher]

@Benjamin SHEN Can you be more specific? It sounds like you're talking about the 18X contracts with the national guard. If you're talking active duty you can not do both your MOS and medical school. You are slotted as a cadet with a non deployable statues while in medical school so that becomes your new MOS. (I also take it you may not be a vet as calling SOF "important" is pretty much a civilian mindset. There are no "important" jobs. Each MOS is essential to the mission, you're not getting preferential treatment for being a cool guy) If you make it through any RASP, SFAS, BUDS, or any other SOF selection they're not gonna let you just leave with your beret or your trident and let you go be a doctor. Youre at the mercy of your chain of command and letting them know your not committed to their mission day one after graduation is no way to start a new life in SOF. If you want to be an operator be an operator. If you want to be a doctor be a doctor. If you want to be both go to selection and be ready to invest an extra 6 to 7 years to get to where you wanna be. I've worked with a few 18D who eventually went to med school. Both were over 35 and didnt start their practice or making money until they were about 43. If you wanna wait half your life to be a doctor go for it. Otherwise I'd advise focusing your goals. Going back to what I said earlier the 18X in the guard allows you to be Army SF as a guardsmen. You'll do the full Q course (1-2years) and return home. When you deploy you'll deploy with other active or Guard SF units to do SF missions. You can do medical school at the same time as this as you are a civilian BUT you will not be able to receive the HPSP. Again, that scholarship comes with the new slot and cadet statues. So you can be SF and a med student but itll be out of your own pocket. I know one guy that did this. Got deployed twice so Med school took him 7 years. Had to repeat years 1 and 2 twice.

[@Spencer_Thatcher]

Also USUHS is the only option where you'll have real rank as a 1LT. HPSP will have you as a cadet.

[@BeenPlaces]

I was in Military Medicine for about 8 years and the best way to prepare for it is to look at each task/challenge as an opportunity to learn new skills and explore different places rather than just not getting your way all the time. You also will have a much larger scope than civilian practice and it really can't be beat for that. If I could go back in I definitely would.

[@doctorstrange367]

My advice and recommendation is complete your medical school, internship and residency in civilian hospitals. The clinical training and specialty training programs are more robust in civilian teaching hospitals. After gaining your board certification, you can join the military, preferably in the reserves already qualified as a specialist doctor (with higher rank and pay) and just focus on adapting to military life, non-medical duties. Trying to juggle your specialist training and military obligations is not easy at times, and the endpoint is you want to get board certified.

[@valt8395]

i am still waiting for “so you want to be a pediatrician”

[@43nostromo]

I want to add something here: first, I had a miserable time until I did some soul-searching. I got out after 7 years and wish I had not. Here is the thing: people who complain about military service don't realize that ANY organization will suck in the beginning. The key is in remembering that if you work hard, get the right connections and behave yourself, you will advance and thrive. Expect shitty commands in the beginning. You ain't gonna be on staff in Bethesda or San Diego. More like Diego Garcia. But, hang in there. Pay: it used to be that doctors do their time, get out and make more money than civilian counterparts. Uh, no longer. Here is what you don't have to deal with as a military doctor: malpractice insurance, managed care, healthcare insurance for you and dependents, no pre-authorization bullshit and so-forth. Stick it out 20 years, you can retire, receive a pension and continue in civilian practice. Or stay in until retirement. If you hate patients (like I do), you can go an admin. pathway. The possibilities are endless. Want to be a flight surgeon? You can be part of aviation. Like SEALS? Then, you can do undersea medicine. I wish I had known this 20 years ago. I'm not gonna blow smoke up your ass: much of it completely sucks. But ask yourself this: how is that different from civilian medicine these days? Doctors don't get respect anymore. But military doctors who make an actual difference as support staff? Different story! I miss the uniform. However miserable I was, it filled me with pride. And now: I just spend my off-time drinking alone in the basement while staring at a brick wall. I rest my case.

Being a military physician has been my goal since I graduated high school. I’ve volunteered at a VA clinic and shadowed with an Air Force dermatologist. It’s definitely a different world from civilian, but it’s amazing in different ways. Another interesting aspect is the fact that serving as a gmo increases your chances of getting into a specialty. The dermatologist I shadowed with was in the bottom 15% of his medical school class, and served as a flight surgeon for 8 years and was then accepted into one of the highest ranked dermatology residencies in the country because of his extended service as a gmo. Also, if you stay in past your service requirement, you receive retention bonuses to entice you to remain serving. In addition to the $150-200000 you make as a physician, you also receive up to $400,000 every four years after your service obligation is up. You may not live as well off as some civilian practitioners, but it’s safe to say you will still be living quite comfortably. USUHS is my number 1 school of choice and I’m looking forward to applying in just over a year!

You missed one. The FAP (Financial Assistance Program). I attended a civilian medical school and completed civilian residencies and fellowships. During my 2nd year of residency, I learned about the FAP and decided to go for it. Basically, I got commissioned as a Captain (USAF) and started receiving the Captain's base pay. This continued throughout my fellowship. When I completed fellowship, attended COT (Commissioned Officer Trainig) and subsequently went on active duty. I worked in the USA and in Europe. The "payback" was each year of "sponsorship" plus one. (4.5 years total in my case) It was a great experience. No regrets.

I would say a big thing is that as a Medical officer you need to have a love for teaching. I've been an enlisted military medic for 10 years now and the best physicians I have worked with were even better teachers. I've been able to do small surgical procedures such as toenail removals, cyst removals, and even vasectomies because of some stellar medical officers. Please do not become a medical officer in the armed forces unless you would like to teach a medic how to do something cool and mildly invasive while you sit back and offer help where needed. we love that shit.

mathew riedhammer NJNG is the only state that offers full tuition coverage up to medical school (only RWJMS and NJMS). Other states offer tuition coverage up to undergrad or masters or Ph.D. Depending on the state. You don’t have to be in medical corps as a Med student to get free tuition, you can have any MOS as an enlisted or officer and just do your regular drill in your unit as per usual. However, they offer a stipend to med students in NJ if you branch transfer and redirect commission as a 2LT during your 4 years of med school along with the free tuition at one of the two NJ Med schools. If you take that, you are binded to a certain number of years in NJNG as their physician depending on how many years you received the stipend for, since you can agree to take the stipend for 1-4 years. Then you owe 2 years of service per 1 year. You’ll drill once a month at a Med unit like Sea Girt/ Ft Dix for however long your contract says upon becoming a doctor

Military compensation may be "lower", but large portions of it, such as BAH (basic allowance for Housing) and BAS (basic allowance for subsistence, i.e. food) are not taxed, leaving a larger take-home pay. Then there are a lot of free benefits such as healthcare, dental, gyms recreation and entertainment.

There is a lot of incorrect information in this video. Love Med School Insiders, but this made me question other videos because of how off it was. I've been to many of the open-houses at USUHS, as it is in my home area and was one of my top medical school prospects until learning about the HPSP and realizing that I wasn't competitive enough academically to matriculate into USUHS. I actually just realize that I forgot to apply to the school because I was so caught up in HPSP. Well darn... Anyway, most of what I will say refers to the HPSP. 1) Basic training is for those enlisting into the military. For HPSPS, officer training (having different names depending on the specific branch) usually occurs the summer before you start medical school, but can occur between your first and second year if you had a time-commitment conflict and needed to postpone it. 2) The only active-duty time you will serve during the 4 years of medical school is a once-yearly two week obligation being that you are considered an inactive reservist in the military. For those you not familiar, active reservists serve one weekend a month and two weeks a year of active duty work. Ours cuts out the weekend a month. As a residency, you are serving active duty commitment but not towards paying back your scholarship time. It will count towards years of service, promotion, and benefits such as retirement. After residency, you will serve your time commitment (either 3-years or 4-year depending on which HPSP scholarship you accepted). 3) For HPSP, 4th year of clinical rotations is the only time you will be able to have military hospitals in your rotations, as the majority of medical schools will have their core clinicals at designated sites in the 3rd year. HPSP requires you attend at least two clinical rotations at military facilities. 4) YOU GOT TO THIS AT THE END, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO DELETE THIS LOL. Depending on your specialty, you may be competitive in salary to your civilian counterpart or far lacking. If you include promotions, the monthly allowances, free healthcare, the lack of need to pay malpractice insurance and yearly bonuses... primary care physicians will fair pretty comparable. Not to mention the benefits are far greater in the long run for those who plan to retire out of the military. However, super highly-paid specialties would take a massive hit.

So, you end up serving 4 years for medical school + 4 years for a residency before you have served your required time, and if you do a fellowship you have to stay in even longer. I have a friend who's consistently serving in the Middle East. He brags about how getting shot at is nothing new and expected during a tour. He has been married 5 times and divorced 5 time due to women not liking his deployment, but he enjoys serving more than anything else in the world.

but you won't have crippling debt, right?

[@MedSchoolInsiders]

Wow I think this is what I want to do

[@StudyWithM3E46]

very impressed you did an episode on this. This is what I am hoping to do.

Hi. I think that a lot of International students are very interested in getting into med school both from their countries' Bachelor's Degree programs and US's undergraduate programs. Some say, you can even get into med school by having an English major. I would appreciate it if you explain everything in detail by focusing more on requisite classes, too!

I've seen new navy doctors get thrown to marine battalions as "battalion surgeons" and talk about an experiance. Nothing like providing medical care for some of the wildest, most blunt, and determined men and women you'll meet. Top it off with having to tactfully argue with high ranking marine officers weekly on why their ideas need to be modified because it prevents medical care. Or going to feild ops when you still have to manage patient care in the rear. And yes you will most likely be carrying your rifle in this situation, along with enough gear on your back to equal a small person while you hike, even as a doctor/ navy officer. The job is not for the weak. Can't speak for the air force, hopefully they have it better haha

Thank you so much Kevin for making this channel. It's made a huge difference to my approach in life in general. My productivity is incredible. I would have never thought this would be possible! I've got some video requests for you: - new suggestions for books (I've read all the ones you've mentioned so far!) - how to keep up to date with the world's news when we have endless options to filter through. I would like to have a well rounded view of the world but it's not easy to filter through the junk/false news. - how to keep up to date with the advancing of medicine. What magazines, websites etc. do you read?

[@HansImWald]

Nice video, my question is, as a non us citizen, holding a medical degree, how do I join the us army? I would join with a green card until I get the citzenship, no problem, but how do I serve as a medic in the army after that, assumig I have a medical degree from another country, plus can I still apply for a age waiver?
