Job: Navy Physician

PRACTICE WORLD-CLASS MEDICINE IN THE NAVY MEDICAL CORPS AS A NAVY DOCTOR

Become a prestigious health care provider. Make a real difference within the medical world. There’s no exaggerating the significance of the role you’ll play as a military doctor in today’s Navy.

JOB DESCRIPTION
Find a deeper meaning in medicine. In the Navy Medical Corps, you will provide the finest medical care available for Sailors, Marines and other service members — and their families — wherever duty calls. You will do everything a typical physician would do: Diagnose ailments, treat injuries, save lives, and much more!

You will move beyond the boring civilian routine as a new military doctor. You could be leading medical relief efforts in the U.S. or world-wide, caring for patients or treating victims of combat, disease, or natural disasters. You can apply your skills/talents to any situation, any environment.

As a Navy Physician, you’ll challenge your problem-solving abilities and develop unrivaled medical expertise as you:
• Utilize some of the most advanced technology on the planet
• Work at the best military medical facilities on shore, at sea and in the field
• Team with top military doctors and other dedicated health-care professionals on a highly respected Navy Health Care team

MEDICAL SPECIALTIES/SUBSPECIALTIES
From family practice to endocrinology to forensic pathology, you’ll find Navy Medicine at the forefront, pioneering advances in the field.
Military doctors in the Navy practice in more than 30 specialty and subspecialty areas.

EDUCATIONAL/FINANCIAL BENEFITS
Wherever you are in your medical career, the Navy can help ease your financial burdens and advance your career with generous scholarships, financial assistance and continuing education programs. And keep in mind: If you’re a student or resident, you can concentrate on your education or training, with no military/training obligation until after your program is completed.

STUDENTS GET MEDICAL SCHOOL PAID FOR
Being a military doctor in the Navy doesn’t require that you go to a military medical school. Attend a school of your choosing, and know that there are two ways to emerge debt-free!!

1. Navy Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) — Receive 100% tuition coverage during medical school PLUS:
• A monthly stipend of $1,992 to help cover living expenses for up to 48 months
• On top of that: a sign-on bonus of up to $20,000

2. Navy Health Services Collegiate Program (HSCP) — Receive anywhere from $143,000 to $240,000 while attending medical school. This includes:
• A monthly military salary

• Plus comprehensive health-care benefits
Offers have many variables.
* Navy HSCP housing allowance based on medical school location. Increased offer amounts available in areas with a higher cost of living.

RESIDENTS GET SUPPLEMENTAL INCOME IN MEDICAL RESIDENCY
There’s no real way to prepare for your residency. Long hours. Overwhelming work. Relocation. But with the Navy, your residency won’t put you further behind financially.
Navy Financial Assistance Program (FAP) — offers potentially over $270,000 during your medical residency. That consists of:
• An annual grant of $45,000 for up to four years (on top of normal resident pay)
• A monthly stipend of $1,992 to help cover living expenses for up to 48 months
Offers have many variables.
