>National Guard Doctor Question
I've never investigated getting medical school through the guard, I dont know if they have an HPSP program. I would contact a guard recruiter and ask if they have an equivalent, or a medical recruiter in the guard you could talk to.Why the guard instead of another branch? There are already scholarship programs that will pay for medical school and give you a monthly stipend.Brief overview of hpsp:
1. Get accepted into a US MD or DO school
2. Apply for scholarship
3. Get processed through MEPS etc
4. Get scholarship
5. Receive ~$3k/mo stipend, books and exams paid for, etc
6. No med school debt, they pay for the whole thing
7. Serve 45 days active duty a year, where you mostly just do what you were already doing and they call it an At School ADT
8. Apply for military match for residency, sometimes can do civilian match
9. Do officer training before residency starts
10. After residency, serve 1 year active duty in your trained specialty for each year of residency, minimum 4.
