Serve your country as a part-time physician without relocating. As a Navy commissioned physician, you will attend to service members and their families in the same way a civilian doctor would.
You will enjoy an accelerated career track with opportunities to participate in humanitarian relief efforts both stateside and around the world.
Work at top military medical facilities and receive access to advanced training and technology that may not be available in the civilian world.
The Navy offers the ability to focus on medicine without financial and business complications of private practice.
Navy physicians do not have to worry about start-up costs, malpractice insurance, staffing, equipment, or office management.
Key benefits include:
- Earning excellent compensation in a thriving practice
- Experience manageable patient ratios for high-quality, one-on-one care

As a Navy physician and officer in the Navy Medical Corps, you will help lead the highly respected Navy healthcare team as you provide high-quality medical care for Sailors, Marines, service members, their families, and when called upon, humanity at large.
