    Dr.Huynh,
    Your blog is very interesting. I am applying for this match and i am seriously considering Family medicine. I am very much interested in Aerospace Medicine. I just wanted to know the possibility of getting a fellowship in preventive medicine-aerospace medicine, and getting a job in NASA after that. Is it really very difficult.
    Please help me decide which residency to choose.
    Thank you very much.
