Hello,
I am currently a 4th year dental student in the process of applying as a GP to the Army through direct commission when I graduate and I am planning to apply to the pros program at Ft. Gordon the following cycle. I'm a NYC resident and put West Point as my 1st choice preference. What are my realistic chances of being assigned to that duty station, being I have no prior service and coming straight out of dental school?
I also wanted to get some insight from anyone who finished the pros program at Ft. Gordon or is currently enrolled.
1. What do you like/don’t like about the program?
2. How are the mentors? Your co-residents?
3. How is the day-to-day life as a resident in terms of number of pts/hours per week?
4. How about lab work? I heard there’s a ton and you do pretty much everything
5. How much time is spent on treating patients, on lectures/seminars or on research?
6. Is there any time off, on the weekends? I spoke to someone who graduated from the program and he said he was barely home the 3 years and was in the lab on most weekends.
Any other info about the program or general info about the area is much appreciated. Thank you!
