Aim High

If you’re a healthcare professional - or want to be one - there are few better ways to do so than as a member of the Air Force Medical Service. The main Air Force recruiting site for healthcare careers offers a pretty good overview of the responsibilities and the benefits, and breaks down some of the opportunities for various career fields: physicians, nurses, dentists, allied health (including pharmacists, optometrists, psychologists, etc), administrators, and the many enlisted specialties. The difference between civilian and Air Force healthcare professionals is that the Air Force provides training - for everyone - in leadership and management, at many stages of their career and regardless of their specialty. If you’ve ever considered it, now is a great time to find out more. And, of course, if you have any questions, just let me know (airforcemedics AT gmail.com).
