Hello,
I am a physician being discharged from active duty military service.
For military doctors that only serve four to five years active duty, we are taken out of our residency programs after our first year of internship and not allowed to go into residency until after we're discharged. Is there any way that my military service can be counted towards my residency requirement for application for FP Board Certification. I have been treating sailors and marines for the last five years. If this is not the case, how to I apply to the board for exemption or to challenge that current instruction based on the requirements placed on military doctors that do not continue on in the military?
