1) I did my internship in the Navy, served as a Navy GMO for 3 years and I have been board certified in Family Practice since 2000 but did not complete a residency. In 2000 you were still eligible to sit for osteopathic family medicine boards if you had at least 6 years of general practice experience and completed at least 600 hours of CMEs. So being board certified in Family Medicine but without a completed residency am I eligible for a medical officer position at this time?

2) Does an ACGME Preventive Medicine/Public Health residency fulfill your residency requirement?

3) If I wanted to do an rotation and/or research project dealing with Preventive Medicine/Public Health and the FS who would I contact?

Thanks for your help and time.

Thank you for your interest with the Department of State. Unfortunately we do require a completed residency to apply. I have attached a section of our job requirements below. To view the enitre announcement you may go to careers.state.gov.

Thank you,

Catherine

Applicants must have a minimum of five years of post-residency clinical experience in their primary care specialty with at least 50% of the physician's time involved in direct primary patient care during the last six years.
