Health Care

Join an ideal practice. Serve an even greater good.

As a member of the Dental, Medical, Nurse or Medical Service Corps, you have an opportunity to pursue your true passion for medicine – while taking part in a noble cause.

You’ll care for those who serve our country and their families as well as contribute to humanitarian missions across the country and around the globe. Treating victims of everything from sickness to combat, hurricanes to landslides, tsunamis to earthquakes. Lending your expertise to critical relief efforts. In each case, serving a vital role in one of the only outreach corps capable of responding to the call.

You’ll stay focused on the finer points of medicine – without the complications typically faced in the civilian sector holding you back.

  • Earn a competitive salary in a thriving practice with thousands of patients.
  • Steer clear of start-up costs, equipment expenses and insurance fees.
  • Enjoy greater pride and respect as a Navy Officer.
  • Expect manageable patient ratios that promote high-quality one-on-one care.
  • Further your expertise through hands-on experience and advanced training.

You’ll utilize some of the most advanced technology on the planet. Work at top-notch military medical facilities on shore, at sea and in the field. Team with the best-trained medical professionals to make a measurable difference in the world.

Wherever you are in your medical career, the Navy can help you attain your goals with generous scholarships, financial assistance and continuing education programs.

Your schedule: more reasonable and flexible than generally found in civilian practice.

Your life: ideally balanced between professional duties and personal interests – with ample time for family, travel and recreational pursuits.
