The super Mai Tais at the Barefoot Bar with rum 151 were awesome.
I'm not surprised.I have no memory of that
...the pink palace ...
TA - An IMG is not eligible to apply for a military residency unless you have an unrestricted license in a US state. Continue with your civilian residency application. Complete a year. Get licensed somewhere in the US then contact a military medical recruiter to apply for an active duty commission. Even as a licensed physician, the transition to an AD commission as a GMO won't be easy. Serve as a GMO for a period of time then apply for a military residency with no guarantee of acceptance.Is it opened for everyone or just who are from US Naval Medical school?
I'm serving in National Guard and I wanna practice in psychiatric field. However, I'm an IMG. Is it acceptable for me to apply for this program?

Are you a US citizen? What's your YOG?
Caribbean?Thank you for you reply. I'm a US citizen. my YOG is 2015.
No, I'm from Vietnam. I got the emails from recruiters about being practicing medicine in the US. Yes, it requires 1 year in residency in civilian programs. Just asking if there is any change in this Hawaii program. Thank you for answering my concernsCaribbean?
Bottom line, the military can't help you until you have at least an unrestricted state license. Some states will grant one after just an intern year. But that intern year will have to be through a civilian program.
Assuming you are an enlisted soldier in the guard and you got your MD before you enlisted. Your best shot is civilian Residency.No, I'm from Vietnam.

I scored back-to-back 6 week clerkships at Tripler as a USUHS MS3. OB and ... I think it was peds. Stayed in the provided BOQ for part of it. Brought my wife out and stayed in Hickam AFB TAD housing for the rest. Something like $17/night for a 2 bedroom townhouse. Good times.I got sent to the pink palace TAD because they needed a break (seeing fewer patients than I was at the time). Stayed at the Hale Koa and drank cheap Mai Tais for a couple weeks. Was pretty sweet
Another possibility, and I understand this isn't real attractive, is to go to medical school again in the US. I know one physician in the military (presently a resident) who completed several years of medical school in Vietnam, came to the United States, started over in a US medical school, and participated in HPSP.
Is that simply an admissions prejudice or is there some rule about it?he/she can’t go to a medical school in the US. No medical school will accept him/her if the person already holds a MD degree from another country. Except NYCOM
