What I can't seem to find out is what they actually do, what kind of training they undergo, how they apply/are selected, how they interact with the medical sergeants working with them, and what kind of residency (if any) is required/prefered for selection. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

1. Use the Search button.
2. I do not think the Navy, if they pay for your school, is going to let you come play Doc for the Army.
3. If you become a physician, neither is the Army.
4. There are very few SF units with physicians compared to the Army as a whole. IMHO, the odds of you getting one are less than 1%.
5. I don't know who has suddenly begun spinning tales of SF docs and daring do to all of the med school students, but it ain't happening.
6. Fill out your profile.
Good luck.
