    Army Fellowship ADSO

    Hi all, What is the ADSO for a 1 and 2 year fellowship at a civilian institution? Is this concurrent or consecutive to any prior ADSOs: HPSP or USMA/ROTC? Side question, can you do a fellowship outside the US at an accredited fellowship program for example in Canada?

    Army HPSP ADT BAH

    I received BAH based off of my school’s zip code. No need to do anything special. I called and double checked with finance about my orders. They reassured me that I would receive the BAH for my school’s zip code, which I did. A great payday. Only hiccup was that I received my ADT pay and BAH...

    Military Radiation Oncology

    If I were interested in radiation oncology and the residency through the National Capital Consortium as an Army HPSP medical student, then I would first need to complete an internship/transitional year then apply for this residency, correct? Where do Army HPSP students usually complete these...

    Army Neurosurgery

    Army HPSP ADT BAH

    I saw a previous thread that explained that HPSP students receive BAH II (RC/T) which is currently $743.70 per month during their 45 day ADT. However, I also saw that this rate is primarily used for reservists on active duty for less than 30 days. By definition, HPSP students are on active duty...

    2016-2017 Harvard Medical School Application Thread

    I'd like to add my two cents. I took the July 22, 2016 MCAT and submitted my secondary by Labor Day weekend. I interviewed in December and was accepted. I did not feel disadvantaged for applying later than usual. Other schools do have rolling admissions and you will take a hit for applying...
