Navy Reserve: Opportunities: Officer Opportunities: Health Care: Medical Service Corps

Serving as an optometrist, you could prescribe contact lenses to an Admiral. Or, if you’re a radiologist, perhaps you’ll study the thermal stress and magnetic force of a submarine’s nuclear reactor. You could even serve as an Aerospace Physiologist, correlating the aerodynamics of the new F/A-18 Super Hornet. These are just a few of the many jobs and duties that can be found in the Navy Reserve Medical Service Corps. As an Officer, you’ll become part of a highly diversified medical team consisting of clinical care providers, health-care administrators, and health-care sciences personnel.

The Navy Reserve takes special care of those who ensure the safety of our Sailors and help protect our nation from harm. Working with highly advanced equipment in state-of-the art facilities, you will enjoy training on levels unrivaled in the civilian world.
