00:01.568 --> 00:03.636
Graduate medical education.

00:03.636 --> 00:07.273
That is a program
that is designed for physicians

00:07.273 --> 00:10.276
after they graduate from medical school.

00:10.910 --> 00:14.147
When you come out of medical school,
no doctor is just ready.

00:14.147 --> 00:15.181
The day that they graduate,

00:15.181 --> 00:18.485
they have to do some form of residency
and graduate medical education

00:19.052 --> 00:23.189
like pediatrics, internal medicine, general surgery, 
orthopedic surgery.

00:23.423 --> 00:26.259
If you're interested in research,
there's opportunities to be a researcher.

00:26.259 --> 00:27.627
If you're interested in leadership,

00:27.627 --> 00:30.463
there's opportunities to be in leadership
roles.

00:30.463 --> 00:33.366
At the end,
you really want to leave residency feeling

00:33.366 --> 00:36.669
prepared and feeling like you're ready
for the battlefield.

00:36.669 --> 00:39.372
You're ready for whatever
life throws at you.

00:39.372 --> 00:43.376
Military GME is so important
because it provides military medicine

00:43.676 --> 00:46.679
a way to care for our family.

00:48.515 --> 00:49.916
It's very rewarding.

00:49.916 --> 00:52.886
That's the people that you work
with. It's the mission that you complete.

00:52.886 --> 00:55.688
And I think it's something
that has helped me grow as a physician.

00:58.758 --> 01:00.360
Just the opportunity to meet

01:00.360 --> 01:02.862
different people I otherwise wouldn't
have been able to meet

01:02.862 --> 01:04.164
in the military has been.

01:04.164 --> 01:07.133
It's a real adventure for sure.

01:08.635 --> 01:11.938
It helps grow
lifelong clinical researchers,

01:11.938 --> 01:14.941
and we really need that
as an organization.

01:22.782 --> 01:25.919
You don't get opportunities like that
anywhere outside of military GME.
