What are the responsibilities and job description for the Part-Time Navy Physician position at US Navy Reserve?
About Us-Naval Reserve
- Are you a skilled physician looking for a challenging and rewarding career? Do you want to serve your country while maintaining a part-time schedule?
- As a part-time physician in the US Naval Reserve, you will have the opportunity to provide high-quality medical care to service members and their families while enjoying a flexible schedule that allows you to balance your personal and professional life.
Navy physicians work at top military medical facilities, where they have access to advanced training and technology. They also have the opportunity to participate in humanitarian relief efforts stateside and around the world. One of the benefits of being a Navy physician is that start-up costs, malpractice insurance, staffing, equipment, and office management are not a concern.
As a Navy Physician and Officer in the Navy Medical Corps, you will be responsible for providing high-quality medical care to 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.
In addition to providing medical care, you will also have the opportunity to work with top healthcare professionals on the highly valued Navy healthcare team. You will collaborate with fellow military doctors and other healthcare officers, and partner with International Relief Teams and organizations, such as FEMA, USAID, and Project Hope.
The Navy offers excellent compensation, manageable patient ratios, hands-on experience, and Navy-funded advanced training. You will also receive a flexible schedule that leaves more time for family and personal pursuits.
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.
