  Career Options/Benefits
  
  As an Army Surgeon, you have two distinct career options with the U.S. Army offering substantial benefits: Reservist (part-time) and Active Duty (full-time). A Reservist career places you in the driver's seat allowing you more control of managing your time, location, and career progression. An Active Army career comes with a career management team ensuring that you have opportunities to excel to include assignments that will propel you beyond your peers with no overhead costs including malpractice insurance.
  As a Reservist and in Residency, you are eligible to receive:
  
  • A monthly stipend of over $2,400 while enrolled in an accredited residency program.

    • Receive drill pay.
      
    • Continued medical coverage for you and your family.
    • Remaining loan repayment.
    • Opportunities for travel in support of humanitarian missions.
    • Serve an estimated 36 days per year with possible schedule flexibility.

      • A $400,000 signing bonus paid over a 4-year Active Duty obligation.
        
      • Up to $120,000 in qualifying loan repayment.
