Can an HPSP student do a civilian residency?

• YES
• All HPSP apply to Navy Selection Board

– List preferences – inservice, deferment

• Priority given to filling Navy internships
• Each year there will be some deferments

Can an HPSP student do a civilian residency?

• If selected for full deferment won’t come

active duty until training completed. (won’t be pulled to be a GMO)

• No pay or benefits from the Navy while in

residency

• Does not incur any additional payback

time

How Much Time Do I Owe Again?

• Obligation of 1 year for each year of

sponsorship, served in a non-training status.

• Minimum Service Obligation (MSO) of 3

years (impacts 1 and 2 year recipients).

• Intern year counts towards MSO
• Residency (not internship) incurs year for

year training obligation served concurrently with remaining HPSP

• bligation

How Much Time Do I Owe Again?

• Pay back occurs when the member is not

in training.

• Time spent as a GMO, Flight Surgeon, or

Undersea Medical Officer counts toward payback.

• Residency obligation is paid back

concurrently with HPSP obligation.

How many HPSP graduates are selected for deferred residency training each year?

• Number varies from year to year

–Depends on size of HPSP class

• Filling inservice programs is priority
• The larger the medical school class the

greater the number of full deferments.

• Majority of full deferments in most

needed specialties: Gen Surgery, Ortho, Anesthesia

Are all HPSP graduates required to do a GMO tour after internship?

• No
• 30-40% will not have a GMO tour by

either full deferment or straight through training before serving their active duty obligation.

What is a GMO?

• Primary care physician who usually works

in an operational area such as:

– Flight Surgeon – Undersea Medical Officer – Marines – Construction Battalion – Hospitals – Clinics – Overseas – Ships

Flight Surgery

• 6 months training in Pensacola.
• Perform basic flight training.
• Study unique aspects of aerospace

medicine.

• Assigned as Squadron or Station FS.
• 2-3 year tour (24 month minimum).
• Eligible to apply for Residency in

Aerospace Medicine after first tour.

Undersea Medicine

• 6 months training in Groton, CT and

Panama City, FL.

• Study the unique aspects of hyperbaric

medicine.

• Become a certified Navy diver.
• 2-3 year tour (24 month minimum).
• Serve the needs of the submarine and

diving communities.

My Recruiter Said That GMO Tours Were Going to GO Away

• Navy Medicine is working to convert GMO

billets to Primary Care billets.

• Moving towards an all board eligible force.
• By 2011 GMO/FS/UMO billets will be

drastically reduced.

• This will increase the opportunities for

straight through training each year as the transition of billets occurs.

How Do I Go Straight Though Residency?

• Apply for your GME-2 year during your

internship

• Who may apply?

– Any intern associated with the Navy – Operation Medical Officers (GMO, FS, UMO) – Staff physicians

How many interns are selected for straight-through training each year?

• 65-85/year
• Most likely in Family Medicine, Internal

medicine, Ob/Gyn, Psychiatry and Pediatrics

• Less common in many others

GME-1 Application

GME-1 Application

• You will receive this in the spring of your third
• year. It must be completed by July, but can be

modified until November

• Rank List from 1 to 5
• My list:

– 1. Surgery- Bethesda – 2. Surgery- Portsmouth – 3. Surgery- Balboa – 4. Transitional- Portsmouth – 5. Transitional- Any Site

GME-1 Application

• Whatever specialty a student selects for choice 1, all
• ther sites that provide that training must also be

ranked.

– For example, if a student selects Internal Medicine at Portsmouth for first choice, San Diego and Bethesda must be ranked as numbers 2 and 3 (in either order).

• If a Family Medicine Program is selected, all five

programs must be ranked. Students may request a full deferment, but if there is a Navy categorical internship in the deferment specialty requested, all Navy sites must be ranked as well.

• Deferment may be placed in any position except

position 5.

GME-1 Application- Example Rank Lists

• 1. Gen Surg- SD
• 2. Gen Surg- Beth
• 3. Gen Surg- Ports
• 4. Trans- SD
• 5. Trans- Any Site
• 1. Rad- Full Def
• 2. Gen Surg- Beth
• 3. Gen Surg- Ports
• 4. Gen Surg- SD
• 5. Trans- Any Site

How Does Selection Board Work?

• A student makes his/her ranking list.
• Program Directors are given a list of all students who have ranked

their program.

– The Program Directors are NOT told the student rankings.

• Program Directors must make their list based purely on the

student’s record and interactions.

• Then the lists will be paired, matching the desires of the student

with the program. Preference will be given to the student. Preference will be given to the student. Preference will be given to the student. Preference will be given to the student.

• Special circumstances are considered by the Selection Board.

Items that can be considered are co-location with a military spouse and family issues or needs.

• The Board places high priority on meeting these location needs,

but it can not guarantee specialty of choice.

USMLE

• Schedule your test dates during Jan/Feb
• CK scores must be received before late

November and CS must be passed so you can supersede to Lieutenant
