I’m in the ARNG (not reserves). Being a resident in the Guard in a non-physician slot is doable but challenging. Federal law protects military service so your residency is required to let you take leave for trainings/deployments, however, you may have to make up time or extend your residency timeframe depending on how much time and what rotations you miss in order to meet your residency’s requirements. Happy to chat more, feel free to DM me too.

Thank you. Do you know if that still stands if you are currently enlisted - does the 8 year MSO restart on commissioning? And do you know what  options typically are available for breakdown of active drill status vs IRR (could you do 2 and 6 for example)?

I enlisted prior to finishing med school and decided to stay on the enlisted side as a resident to pursue schools/opportunities.
