wondering if anyone has joined army reserve or air force reserve during neurosurg residency? Is it feasible? what would program directors think if you tell them that? 1 weekend a month commitment & 2 weeks annually. If someone is currently doing that, please share experiences.
I know their are some people at my med school at some army program. As i understand, it pays for your schooling and you have to do like some summer work and weekend stuff sometimes. not sure if this is what you are talking about, however.
The AF currently is very limited to no reserve billets. The ARMY and NAVY have options. You need to talk to your PD and your chair to make sure they will tolerate this. You have to realy want to do it
Your military service will be frowned upon.
It’s stupid to do during residency. Finish ur training, and do it after if ur still feeling patriotic. Don’t screw over ur fellow residents by asking for all sorts of accommodations so u can go play weekend warrior.
