We explore the evolution of military graduate medical education (GME) programs and discuss the residency match process and unique aspects of training military physicians. Dr. DeZee addresses common concerns regarding deployment and training opportunities during residency and highlights the roles of general medical officers. He also provides advice for medical students looking to enhance their competitiveness for GME applications. Emphasizing the importance of leadership and clinical experience, Dr. DeZee outlines how these elements are crucial in shaping future military medical professionals. Additionally, we look into the changes brought about by the formation of the Defense Health Agency and how it has centralized the administration of military hospitals to better facilitate GME training across branches.   (15:00) Military GME Training and Opportunities     Dr. DeZee provides an insightful exploration into the nuances of the military's Graduate Medical Education (GME) system, specifically focusing on civilian deferred training and the differences in GME offerings across the Army, Navy, and Air Force. We explain how civilian deferred training allows students to complete their residency without military obligation, returning to fulfill their service commitment afterward. Additionally, we examine the similarities and distinctions in specialty and fellowship opportunities among the three services, highlighting that while core specialties are consistently available, certain niche fields may not be offered every year. We also discuss the limitations of applying across different service branches for residency, except in special circumstances like joint domicile or compelling family needs. Finally, we touch on the process during the GME selection board where unfilled positions in one service might potentially be offered to another, ensuring optimal utilization of training slots.   (28:51) Military Medicine Postgraduate Training Opportunities    We explore the various scenarios for medical professionals navigating the residency match process, particularly focusing on those who have completed or are considering a transitional year program. We discuss the eligibility of transitional year residents to re-enter the match and how their performance might offer a slight advantage over medical students who haven't completed such a year. Additionally, we examine the options available for medical students who aren't matched with their preferred internship, such as transitioning into a preliminary surgical year or pursuing a general medical officer (GMO) role. The nuances of how different specialties view a transitional year are also covered, with particular emphasis on which rotations may count towards graduation requirements for certain boards. Furthermore, we address the differences in how the Army, Air Force, and Navy utilize GMO tours within overall Graduate Medical Education (GME) training pathways.   (35:35) Military Medical Career Pathways      Dr. DeZee describes the journey of becoming a General Medical Officer (GMO) in the military, highlighting the additional training required for various roles, such as flight surgeon or undersea medicine. We discuss the mentoring process within a flight unit and the evaluation called a Focused Practice Review to ensure safe medical practice. For those interested in long-term service, options like aerospace medicine residencies are available. The Navy's new program, which allows a seamless transition back to residency after a GMO tour, is also highlighted. Additionally, I touch upon the flexibility for those who decide a particular residency is not for them, detailing the process for resigning and re-competing for a different specialty without it being viewed negatively, as long as professional standards are maintained.   (40:14) Maximizing Success in Military Medical Careers   We cover the critical decisions and requirements for medical professionals in a DHA Graduate Medical Education (GME) program, focusing on the nuances of resignation and training progression. We emphasize the irreversible nature of resigning from the program and the transition to becoming a general medical officer. I also address the integration of military education with medical residency, highlighting the importance of completing the Officer Basic Course before or during residency. For medical students aspiring to be competitive in the selection board, I offer advice on enhancing their profiles through clinical rotations, leadership roles, and research involvement. Being well-prepared for specialty rotations, demonstrating leadership potential, and achieving strong academic performance are key factors in securing a successful career as a medical corps officer.   (52:50) Military Graduate Medical Education Opportunities      Dr. DeZee encourages exploring the details of Army Internal Medicine programs through the DHA website, highlighting the ease of access and the wealth of information available without any commitment. We emphasize the dedication of program coordinators like Michelle Valdez and Michael Simons in developing this resource, which aids in understanding the local environment and the training of medical corps officers. Reflecting on personal experiences, such as undergoing surgery at Walter Reed, underscores the importance of excellent training programs for military medical professionals. I stress the significance of training residents who may one day provide care to us or our loved ones, highlighting the personal investment of trainers in their trainees' success. We also clarify that while the military does not force specialties on medical officers, the option to pursue one's desired field remains open, ensuring that medical professionals are passionate and committed to their chosen paths.   Take Home Messages: Navigating the Military GME Landscape: The episode provides an in-depth look at the military's Graduate Medical Education (GME) system, highlighting its evolution and the unique challenges faced by aspiring military physicians.

When communicating with their employees, most firms have no idea who they're talking to.Good communication is about knowing your audience. But if your organization is only focused on knowing your customers, James Root says you're forgetting a whole other cohort: your employees.Root is a senior partner at Bain & Company, Chair of Bain Futures, and author of The Archetype Effect, in which he reveals a simple but overlooked truth: people want different things from their jobs. Despite this, most companies' approach to employee motivation and reward is one-size-fits-all. “Every aspect of the standard organization model is built around this idea of the average worker,” he says. The problem? No average worker exists. “What people want from work is highly varied,” he says, and while many organizations spend millions to learn what drives their customers, “The mystery is why haven't we applied that same thinking to our workers?"In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Root and host Matt Abrahams explore how firms can transform organizational success by understanding their internal audience. Whether you're trying to attract new talent or encourage better performance from the team you already have, Root's research shows why it's about knowing your audience — recognizing that different people are motivated by fundamentally different things at work.Episode Reference Links:James RootJames' Book: The Archetype EffectThe Archetype QuizEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across GenerationsEp.104 How to Change: Building Better Habits and Behaviors (And Getting Out of Your Own Way) Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:21) - The Evolving Nature of Work (05:21) - Leading Multigenerational Teams (08:50) - The Six Archetypes Explained (13:55) - The Archetypes Evolution (19:33) - The Final Three Question (22:51) - Conclusion  ********This Episode is brought to you by Strawberry.me.

Last week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered immediate changes to the DoD household goods moving program, mainly to deal with the department's current struggles in implementing the new global household goods contract. But there's a new effort in the works that could make some significant changes to how often service members have to move in the first place. Hegseth is framing the latest initiative as a cost cutting move, but it could also offer members of the military more geographic stability in the coming years.

Sam Moore’s path into sport science is defined by taking risks and chasing meaningful questions. After a devastating knee injury as a collegiate athlete, Moore not only returned to compete, but she also discovered her calling in strength and conditioning. She recounts her coaching, sport science, and hybrid roles prior to leaving a full-time position to pursue her PhD at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Moore describes sport science as problem-solving and drawing evidence across disciplines to drive innovation. She discusses her research on female athlete availability in elite settings, including nuances like body composition, recovery, and high speed exposure in training. Moore advises young professionals to remain open-minded, pitch their ideal position if it does not exist, and go “all in”— knowing one decision does not define forever. Whether you are a coach or researcher, this episode delivers real-world insights on navigating your career with courage and curiosity. Connect with Sam on Instagram: @sammoorestrong and Twitter/X: @SamMooreStrong | Find Eric on Instagram: @ericmcmahoncscs and LinkedIn: @ericmcmahoncscs  Show Notes“One of the biggest pieces of advice that I feel like was helpful for me in my career was that you can-- if you're good enough at something, somebody will pay you to do it. So, there might not be a job out there that is what you want to do with the description that you want. That's OK. You can go in, and you can sell it.” 18:53 “I think it was my mom that told me whatever choice you make is the right one because it's the one you made, and you don't have to do something forever. You can work a job for one year or for six months, right?
