Part-Time Navy Physician

**Serve Your Country as a Part-Time Physician**

This is an exceptional opportunity to make a difference in the lives of service members and their families while pursuing a fulfilling career in medicine. As a part-time physician in the Navy Reserve, you will have the flexibility to work on your own schedule while enjoying the benefits of serving your country.

Navy commissioned physicians are responsible for providing high-quality medical care to service members and their families. They typically enjoy an accelerated career track, with opportunities to take part in humanitarian relief efforts stateside and around the world.

You will have the opportunity to work at top military medical facilities, where you will have access to advanced training and technology. You will also be able to focus on the finer points of medicine without the financial and business complications of private practice.

Navy Physicians also:

• 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, 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 by working at the best military medical facilities on shore, at sea, and in the field. You will join with top healthcare professionals on the highly valued Navy healthcare team and collaborate with fellow military doctors and other healthcare officers. You will also partner with International Relief Teams and organizations, such as FEMA, USAID, and Project Hope.

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.
