Medical
Military careers
Duties and Responsibilities: A military medic is also referred to
as a corpsman that has a variety of responsibilities. Even basic Hospital Corpsmen perform many
medical and clerical duties that are sometimes divided up piecemeal among
multiple occupations in the other services.
As expected, they’re the heart of emergency, routine, and
preventive medical care for sailors and Marines across the fleet. However, HMs
also run administrative and logistical support for Navy medicine, support
pharmacy, dental, and lab diagnostic work, and provide patient education
ranging from basic health and wellness briefs to battlefield first aid
training.
Salary: 25,000$-27,000
Education:
Joining the Hospital Corps requires a five-year enlistment in the
Navy. Potential corpsmen must have a high school diploma or equivalent before signing up, and
a score of 146 on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery based on
Verbal Expression, Mathematics Knowledge, and General Science scores. Training
and certification is required.
