Help!
Hello all,
I’m currently studying for my bachelors degree in Health Humanities with a specialization in Pre-medicine. I am a second year right now.
I have what’s called an early acceptance into med school, specifically one that has an averagely low acceptance rate, but will not actually be going until 2028 when I finish my bachelors.
HPSP was brought into my scope after talking to my brother who is a former marine, and seems like he is doing very well in life.
I am interested, especially because I fear debt. One thing is, I want to specialize in some sort of surgery. I don’t think it matters what it is, but aiming more towards trauma or even cardiovascular surgery.
My issue is: what does it entail? What will life be like for me?
I know we get a stipend and the debt paid. Which is important to me as I am trying to get out a toxic household, and part of me has always said it’s either the military or medicine because one way or another I’m “serving” the population.
What is everyone’s thoughts? Is it worth it? What are things I should consider?
Thank you in advance :)
