Why the Navy Medical Corps?
As a military doctor in the Navy Medical Corps, you can make a difference caring for people on base, at sea or wherever duty calls.

• Attend to brave Sailors, Marines and servicemembers — as well as their families
• Take part in medical relief efforts and humanitarian causes — both stateside and abroad

As an Officer in the Navy Medical Corps, you can lead the way and further distinguish yourself, enhancing your credentials and expanding the boundaries of your expertise.

• Operate as a leader within your focus area and get exposure outside your specialty
• Collaborate with fellow military doctors and other Health Care Officers and partner with International Relief Teams and organizations such as FEMA, USAID and Project Hope
• Gain management experience that will serve you well throughout your career

In the world of Navy Health Care, you can attain a broader spectrum of experience faster as you find yourself at the forefront of the medical field.

• Utilize state-of-the-art medical equipment like Light-Emitting Diode (LED) probes, developed in conjunction with NASA to help heal wounds faster
• Practice the most up-to-date procedures, such as "forward surgery," using a portable telecommunications system to link field medics with larger medical facilities for lifesaving consultation and care
• Be privy to high-tech training so advanced the civilian world may not even be aware of it yet (FDDD)

You’ll find none of the roadblocks of civilian medicine. No malpractice insurance to buy, no staff to hire, no equipment to acquire and no office to furnish. Plus, a flexible schedule that leaves more time for family and adventure.

This is the Navy. Everything is handled. And an established practice is waiting.
