Military Medical Careers

Duties and Responsibilities: Each branch of the military has different needs and entrance requirements for medical professionals. However, one requirement all four military branches share is the physical health standards. Any minor physical weakness, or deviation, from the slightest vision or hearing impairment to flat-footedness, could disqualify you for acceptance into the military. Additionally, you would have to pass physical fitness tests and endurance tests as well. The standards do vary slightly amongst the branches, but generally the requirements are very strict.

Salary: The pay ranges from rank, career, and years active.

Education: The educational requirements are different for each career but most seem to require a medical and a bachelor’s degree. You also need to meet physical and mental requirements as well as meeting educational requirements.

Reflection: I would not like to practice any sort of military medical career because I just simply don’t want to. There are many downsides to these jobs that I do not want to take. I would rather not.
