**About this Opportunity**
Serve your country as a part-time physician with the United States Navy. This role does not require relocation and offers an accelerated career track with opportunities to participate in humanitarian relief efforts both domestically and internationally.
Navy commissioned physicians provide medical care to service members and their families in a similar manner to civilian doctors. They work at top military medical facilities, utilizing advanced training and technology that may not yet be available in the civilian world.
The Navy healthcare system allows physicians to focus on medicine without the financial and business complexities of private practice. Benefits include:
- Excellent compensation in an established practice
- Manageable patient ratios for high-quality, one-on-one care
- 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 when called upon, humanity at large.
You will handle all typical physician responsibilities, including diagnosing ailments, treating injuries, and saving lives. Additionally, you can expand your scope beyond routine duties:
- Work at top military medical facilities on shore, at sea, and in the field

- Partner with fellow military doctors and other healthcare officers, as well as international relief teams and organizations

Serving part-time as a Reservist, your duties will be carried out during scheduled drilling and training periods. During monthly drilling, physicians typically work close to their homes, giving them flexibility to expand their medical experience in the Navy without compromising their civilian practice.
