What are the responsibilities and job description for the Medical Corps Officer position at US Navy Reserve?
About Us Serve your country as a part-time physician. As a Navy commissioned physician, you will attend to service members and their families in much the same way a civilian doctor would.
Our Mission
We offer an accelerated career track with opportunities to take part in humanitarian relief efforts stateside and around the world. You will work at top military medical facilities and have access to advanced training and technology.
You will not have financial and business complications of private practice. Start-up costs, malpractice insurance, staffing, equipment, and office management do not exist for Navy physicians.
The Benefits
- Earn excellent compensation in an established, thriving practice
- Experience manageable patient ratios for high-quality, one-on-one care
- Receive hands-on experience and Navy-funded advanced training
- Enjoy a flexible schedule that leaves more time for family and personal pursuits
As a Navy Physician and Officer in the Navy Medical Corps, you will help lead the highly respected Navy healthcare team. You will provide high-quality medical care for Sailors, Marines, service members, their families, and, when called upon, humanity at large.
You will handle everything a typical physician does, such as diagnosing ailments, treating injuries, and saving lives. You also can move beyond routine:
- Work at the best military medical facilities on shore, at sea, and in the field
- Join with top healthcare professionals on the highly valued Navy healthcare team
- Collaborate with fellow military doctors and other healthcare officers, and partner with International Relief Teams and organizations
- Operate as a leader within your focus area and get exposure outside your specialty
- Gain management experience that will serve you well throughout your career
Serving Part-Time as a Reservist
Your duties will be carried out during your scheduled drilling and training periods. During monthly drilling, Physicians in the Navy Reserve typically work at a location close to their homes. This gives you the flexibility to expand your medical experience in the Navy without compromising your civilian practice at home.
For annual training, physicians may serve anywhere in the world, whether at sea, in hospitals stateside, or in bases and camps in countries around the world.
