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 rewarding part-time position allows you to serve your country and advance your medical career without relocating. As a Navy commissioned physician, you will provide top-notch medical care to service members and their families.
You will enjoy an accelerated career track, with opportunities to participate in humanitarian relief efforts both stateside and abroad. You will work at state-of-the-art military medical facilities and have access to advanced training and technology.
Navy healthcare offers the ability to focus on the finer points of medicine without the financial and business complications of private practice. You will not be responsible for start-up costs, malpractice insurance, staffing, equipment, or office management.
As a Navy physician, you will:
- 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
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
- 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.
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.
