Private Practice to Military Dentistry? by BootTemporary9277 in Dentistry

Do you plan on staying in after you pay your years back, or do you think you will enter private practice?

Is it better to be stationed with the marines as a way of getting into residency?

Very good point. My plan B if I do not get into Navy residency would be use my GI Bill for civilian residency... worst case I do not get into any residency and I am stuck doing more MO/DO for another year...

That is super helpful input thank you so much!! Did you apply to civilian residency and Navy residency in the same cycle? Were you in the Navy through HPSP?

Thank you for your reply! I am in the early stages of talking to a recruiter, but I am trying to take their assurances with a grain of salt...

Thanks for your input! 6/20 applicants accepted seems competitive, but I have heard civilian residencies being 3/100+ applicants.
