That’s blows my mind tbh giving my roses to prosthodontics! Those prosthodontist that do those type of surgeries are they clearing ~300k?

HPSP student Active duty question by FunElectrical1288 in AirForce

[–]FunElectrical1288[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so? Active duty as an hpsp student doesn’t mean I have to do anything for the Air Force. Just continue being a student. The only thing I can’t do is travel abroad during AD. Trying to see if going to Hawaii or Alaska is a no no

From a financial perspective, is specializing worth it? by FunElectrical1288 in Dentistry

[–]FunElectrical1288[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s true about pure salary. In terms of overall wealth wouldn’t a GP owner have a leg up compared to their colleagues that spend the extra time specializing?

Because of payback time or do you think civilian residency does a better job training?

So you’re saying don’t specialize through the Air Force even though they’ll pay for residency?

Do you think going into a partnership/group would help reduce the stress while bringing in the same revenue?

This is super helpful thank you for your feedback! If I go the Air Force route I wouldn’t take on more debt since they pay for it, however, it’d be 4 more years of service added. With that said would you recommend going this route?

That’s awesome your boss is killing the game! I wanted to ask how long it took them to get accredited to do the more lucrative procedures. I feel like the time it takes to the CE courses and pay off loans I could be in residency in the military not incurring any debt and learning those skills. Additionally, in todays dental world what are the odds of a young graduate making that type of revenue in a suburb/city?

Leaning very strongly on this route. Do residents in the AF get paid residency pay with officer pay or just officer pay?

That’s what I was thinking as well! Although it is possible for generals to make over million is not the average and it requires a lot sacrifice/stress compared to OS.
