Y ou will have the opportunity to serve your country by caring for military service members, retired service members and their families. As a physician in the Army, you will provide
the high quality of care that is our standard in a health care system at the very forefront of medical science.
Army physicians do not have to worry about such private practice burdens as overhead costs and patient billing. Instead, our physicians get to focus on what they were educated to do — treat patients to the very best of their abilities.
Our physicians use the most sophisticated modern technology. Consultation with recognized experts from both military and civilian practice is an integral part of patient care. This highly professional and challenging medical environment offers a multitude of opportunities for professional growth, including ser
ving as faculty in one of our graduate medical education programs, which are some of the finest in the country.
Our excellent reputation as a leader in health care delivery, medical education and medical research is just part of
our appeal. We also provide the diversity, professional opportunities and personal benefits that make Army health care an ideal choice for anyone who wants to realize his or her fullest potential as a physician.A TEAM APPROACH THAT BENEFITS THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE: OUR PATIENTS.
Army physicians are part of a truly integrated health care team whose goal is to provide the highest standard of patient care possible. Treatment is strictly based on a patient’s needs rather than his or her ability to pay.
As a member of the Army Health Care Team, you work directly with other dedicated professionals from all six corps, which includes the Medical Corps, Medical Service Corps, Medical Specialist Corps, Dental Corps, Veterinary Corps and Nurse Corps, plus enlisted military and civilian employees,
all comprising the Army Medical Department. The result is a very comprehensive and holistic approach to patient care. Teamwork does not mean a loss of autonomy. We designed the Army Health Care Team to allow each of our health care professionals to excel in his or her area of expertise. We also give health care professionals much more responsibility. After all, as a physician and a commissioned officer in the Army Medical Department, you will be trained to be a leader. The high level of personal responsibility that comes with being a physician in the Army is sure to make you grow as
a professional. Y ou will benefit from unique and diverse experiences in Army medicine, including clinical, field and humanitarian missions.
Because of the wide scope of the Army’s activities, you
may have the chance to see and study diseases that are not usually encountered in civilian practice. Likewise, our large patient population means you will see a greater diversity in medical problems.
Regardless of your specialty, you can be certain you’ll encounter many stimulating medical challenges while serving in the Army Medical Corps.
