What are the responsibilities and job description for the Part-Time Navy Physician position at US Navy Reserve?
Part-Time Navy Physician
ABOUT 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.
Navy physicians enjoy an accelerated career track with opportunities to participate in humanitarian relief efforts worldwide. They work at top military medical facilities and have 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 associated with private practice. You won't have to worry about start-up costs, malpractice insurance, staffing, equipment, or office management.
Benefits of being a Navy Physician include:
- Earning excellent compensation in an established practice
- Experience manageable patient ratios for high-quality care
- Receiving hands-on experience and Navy-funded advanced training
- Enjoying 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 lead the highly respected Navy healthcare team by providing high-quality medical care for Sailors, Marines, service members, their families, and humanity at large when needed.
You will diagnose ailments, treat injuries, and save lives, just like a typical physician. However, you also have the opportunity to go beyond routine by:
- Working at top military medical facilities on shore, at sea, and in the field
- Joining top healthcare professionals on the valued Navy healthcare team
- Collaborating with fellow doctors and other healthcare officers, and partnering with International Relief Teams and organizations like FEMA, USAID, and Project Hope
- Operating as a leader within your focus area and gaining 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 scheduled drilling and training periods. During monthly drilling, you will typically work near your home, giving you flexibility to expand your medical experience in the Navy without compromising your civilian practice. For annual training, you may serve anywhere in the world, whether at sea, in hospitals stateside, or in bases and camps abroad.
