Wouldn’t it be great if this program were expanded to include “civilian service,” as in “rural community and inner city” assignments? e.g. psychiatry?
Oh wait, there are programs for this, as well /s:

Bottom line: if a teen wants to be a doctor or healthcare provider, there are many paths to getting there. It’s a lot of hard work and it takes the right person to do it. Good luck and thank you to all of you considering this career choice-it’s your gift to humanity.
And you deserve to be paid well!
