What are the responsibilities and job description for the Part-Time Navy Physician position at US Navy Reserve?
ABOUT Serve your country as a part-time physician. This position does not require relocation. As a Navy commissioned physician, you will attend to service members and their families in much the same way a civilian doctor would. You can enjoy an accelerated career track with opportunities to participate in humanitarian relief efforts stateside and worldwide. You will work at top military medical facilities and have access to advanced training and technology that may not be available in the civilian world.
Navy healthcare offers the ability to focus on the finer points of medicine without financial and business complications of private practice. Start-up costs, malpractice insurance, staffing, equipment, and office management do not exist for Navy physicians. Additionally, they:
- 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 as you provide high-quality medical care for Sailors, Marines, service members, their families, and humanity at large when called upon. You will handle everything a typical physician does, such as diagnosing ailments, treating injuries, and saving lives. You also can move beyond routine by:
- Working at the best military medical facilities on shore, at sea, and in the field
- Joining with top healthcare professionals on the highly valued Navy healthcare team
- Collaborating with fellow military doctors and other healthcare officers, and partnering with International Relief Teams and organizations, such as FEMA, USAID, and Project Hope
- Operating as a leader within your focus area and getting exposure outside your specialty
- Gaining 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, giving them the flexibility to expand their medical experience in the Navy without compromising their 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.
