If you're looking into becoming a medical professional, but are unsure of how to pay for the programs, this episode is for you!
During Matt's first year of medical school, he realized that $80k of debt per year was going to set him back far further than he was willing to put up with. When he realized that most other students had alternative ways of paying for medical school, Matt began doing his homework on scholarships.
Matt found the Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) through the U.S. Navy. This program enabled him to complete the remaining three years completely for free, and in addition was even getting paid every month to go to school!
Matt talks about his experience with the program, what he wish he knew beforehand and all the benefits and costs that weren't obvious to him when he originally signed up.
Thanks for having this long, informative conversation. I’m in the process of applying to med school and needed to hear this. Still think I want to do it after hearing Dr. Long’s story.
My pleasure. Happy to hear you found it helpful. It's a great route to go as an alternative to taking out hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans. Just consider all the branches and see which will give you the best deal.
does everyone in the Navy HPSP have to GMO tour after Med school? Or can you owe by just residency?
Great question Sammi!
I reached out to Matt to confirm, here is the info I got:
"After your first year of residency, you state your preferences for GMO billets vs residency spots. Your application is then reviewed, and a determination is made based on your competitiveness and the needs of the Navy.
In the navy there is no guaranteed option to avoid gmo and go straight through residency.
Training time doesn't count as repaying your service obligation. GMO or post residency service counts for payback.
Residency is considered training"
Hope the helps!
Any information for HPSP for physical therapy students ?
Great question! I'll be on the lookout for a guest who has experience in that!
