I am PM&R and soon to be Pain. I was recently notified by Excelsia Injury Care about a potential interview. I am doing research on internet and social media to learn about them but can’t really find what it is like to work as an interventional pain doc for them. I have never personally heard of...

oh my…. what resources should I review in the next few days to briefly cover OMM portion? About the AOBPMR vs. ABOMR, wouldn’t 100 questions for 2 2-hour blocks be better than 325 question for 2 3-hour blocks? I thought I read it wrong that AOBPMR Part 1 is giving 2 hours in each block for 50...

For those who have recently taken the AOBPMR written board, how much OMM/OMT was involved? Was it similar to having to study broad scope of OMM/OMT for COMLEX? I didn’t even think about it until now and realized because it’s the DO board it may have OMM questions, so I checked their website...

I am a DO PM&R looking to take boards in the near future through AOBPMR for board certifications. I confirmed with the federal sectors including the military and the VA that the AOA boards bear no restrictions compared to the ABMS boards. I am looking into the southeast (FL, GA) and their state...

For physicians in the Army or military in general (active duty and reserves/guard) - Are AOA board certifications recognized as equally as ACGME/ABMS ones? I was a prior active duty Army physician trained at an MTF (obviously an ACGME program in the military), finished my active duty obligation...

Hi I’m aware that your original question was for 2021 applicant but I was an Army GMO for 4 yrs and successfully matriculated to a residency in 2020. It required a lot of time management to ensure that I was able to separate on time in order to start civilian residency by 7/1. I saved up as...

Wow! I didn’t even see the date. It just showed up while I was looking through the forum. I guess 12 yrs ago many things were still possible! Please disregard…

How is applying for a military position like this even possible? I am prior military GME trained, and it takes a lot of background work other than simply just applying for an open slot for a program. Because it requires accepting an active duty commission into the military, it requires federal...

Awesome info. Thanks a lot! One last thing - how is it X<=5? I thought X would be 4 since we owe 4 years of AD from ROTC...

Thanks for the answer! I see... but if I had done HPSP for my medical education, then at the end of residency I would owe 4 years AD from ROTC and 4 years AD (more if neuro, or etc) from HPSP... so total of 8 (or more) years AD after residency?? Also, regarding to the funding for ADT to do a...

How important is it to do Army rotations?? Would you have to do rotations at the sites you would like to do your residency? or is it still okay to do rotations as long as you do them at Army sites? Besides doing rotations during summer breaks, is it possible to (or should I) do rotations...

One thing I know for sure is that the Director of the Army General Medical Education told me on the phone that ROTC time will be served concurrently while doing residency... However, based on the replies, it seems like I will also incur AD obligations as I do AD residency?? So how many...

Everybody thanks so much for your input! I hope I am not causing too much trouble by asking different questions.. but I can't find decently creditable information and it seems like there are people who have been through similar situations like mine that I can ask advice from based on their own...

Thanks for the answers! but now I am hearing two different things on the same topic... Which one is the correct one for the Army Medical Corp?? Maybe the current policies are changed now...? Mirror Form - how does the process work to find rotations?? Contact the HPSP office and the Army...
