From some records posted last night on FR, he finished his undergraduate degree in 1997, entered the Armed Forces medical school from 1997-2001, interned 2003-2004, psychiatric residency 2001-2004, and fellowship 2004-2005. Therefore, he served at WRAMC for awhile years in a nontraining status before his transfer.

Medical school is four years in length no matter where you go. Psychiatric training takes one year of internship and three years of residency after medical school.

However, if the numbers posted last night were correct, he would have graduated high school in 1988 but not from college until 1997. That is the time I am the most suspicious of.

Yes, it it true that some people don't go directly from high school to college or that they take longer to complete a college degree than four years. However, while it is not unheard of, it would be a little bit out of the norm for someone who became a physician.

I would like to know what happened from the time he graduated from high school until completing his undergraduate degree nine years later.

Sorry, the numbers I posted for his post graduate medical education were incorrect. They should have been internahip from 2001-2002, residency 2002-2005, fellowship 2005-2006. But the question about his undergraduate education still remains for me.

Maybe he was travelling -- don't young college students do that all the time -- personally, I would just love to see this doctor's passport for the years you so correctly are suspiciously questioning. Maybe he spent that time visiting museums in Rome?
