I just took my MCAT, and I am applying this cycle. Currently, I am looking into HPSP, and it sounds like a good deal to me. I mean, you go to med school for free, plus you get free training (which looks good on your resume). I don’t mind doing all the physical stuff, and I understand that I’d get paid less than civilian doctors, but that won’t make a difference 5 years down the road; all doctors get paid a lot anyway. Anyway, this sounds like a good deal to me. Let me know if I am missing something important because Reddit is against it if you're doing it for the money for some reason.
Unrelated question:
Let's say I want to be a general surgeon, and I attend med school for 4 years. I know I have to pay them back for the years attended. Will my residency time count toward that?
