What is the risk of dying or getting seriously injured serving my time after completing a DDS in dentistry?

[@studentdoctornetwork]

Thanks for your question. I'd recommend you ask your question on the SDN Military Medicine forum: forums.studentdoctor.net/forums/military-medicine.72/
Obviously, your risks will vary based on how the military is being deployed to serve US national interests. That being said, healthcare providers generally would be at lower risk than an average military member as they tend to be practice in hardened facilities further from conflict areas.
