Military Medical Career

Duties and Responsibilities: The United States military offers many jobs; from medics to physicians. It is one of the many government-employed options for healthcare professionals. Each different branch of the military, which include the army, navy, air force, and marines, have different needs for medical professionals. Something they all share in common is their health standards. Any small physical health standard can disqualify you. The health standards would be: physical weakness, or deviation, from the slightest vision or hearing impairment to flat-footedness. Anything like this could disqualify you. You must also pass a physical fitness and endurance test.

Salary: $30,000-$100,000

Education: Once you are granted into the military, your training and education are paid for. You will not have to pay out of pocket for your medical degree, nursing degree, or other related healthcare training. Once your service requirements are met, you are free and clear of any debt for your medical training.
