Earn excellent compensation in an established, thriving practice
Experience manageable patient ratios for high-quality, one-on-one care
Receive hands-on experience and Navy-funded advanced training

US Navy Reserve Medicine
Serving part-time as a Reservist, your duties will be conducted during your scheduled drilling and training periods. During monthly drilling, Physicians in the Reserve typically drill at a location close to their homes. This gives the flexibility to expand your medical experiences in the Navy without compromising your civilian practice at home.
Most of what you do in the Navy Reserve is considered training. The basic Navy Reserve commitment involves training a minimum of one weekend a month (referred to as drilling) and two weeks a year (referred to as Annual Training) - or the equivalent.
Furthermore, serving as a Reservist physician allows for unique and exciting experiences beyond patient care. Career-long learning in areas within and beyond medicine is both the goal and expectation. You will have the opportunity to shape policy, teach, lead and mentor young men and women, and, if you choose to do so, potentially fly with aviators, sail on ships, dive with the submariners, and/or serve alongside Marines and special operators.
Pulmonary and Critical Care physicians serve essential roles as critical wartime specialists in the military healthcare system. Their efforts in our nation's conflicts have contributed to innovations and advancements in medical care because of their unique qualifications and training, military experiences and/or by their proximity to armed conflicts. These efforts have contributed to unprecedented survival rates in the recent Afghanistan and Persian Gulf conflicts. Pulmonologists and Intensivists also worked on the front lines of the Department of War's COVID-19 pandemic medical response.
For the required two week annual training, physicians may serve anywhere, whether at sea, in hospitals stateside, or in bases and camps in countries around the world.
Benefits include:
Repayment of qualified education loans to the lending institution, paid annually while serving
Annual bonuses for critical wartime specialists
Post 9/11 GI Bill (May transfer many of the benefits to immediate family members)

Completion of at least one year of an approved graduate medical education program
Between 21 and 42 years of age (waivers may be granted on a case-by-case basis up to age 68)

For current or former Officers of military branches other than the Navy (OSVET), as well as for Officer candidates without prior military experience: Officer Candidates are required to attend Officer Development School (ODS) in Newport, RI. ODS is a five-week program that provides a comprehensive and intense introduction to the responsibilities of Navy Staff Corps Officers.

Part-Time Opportunities in the Navy Reserve Medical Corps
Serve your country as a physician and part-time Navy medical officer.
Navy commissioned physicians attend to service members and their families. They have opportunities to participate in humanitarian relief efforts at home and around the world. They work at state-of-the-art military medical facilities and have access to advanced training and technology, including those not yet available to civilian providers. Navy healthcare offers the ability to focus on the finer points of medicine without the financial and business complications of private practice.
Physicians in the Navy Reserve serve in an Officer role. Before receiving the ongoing professional training that comes with this job, initial training requirements must first be met.
Navy Physicians also:
Experience manageable patient ratios for high-quality, one-on-one care
Receive hands-on experience and Navy-funded advanced training
Enjoy a flexible schedule that leaves time for family and personal pursuits
As a Navy Physician and an Officer in the Navy Medical Corps, you will help lead the highly respected Navy healthcare team as you provide high-quality medical care for Sailors, Marines, other service members, their families, and, when called upon, humanity at large.
You will handle everything a typical physician does, such as diagnosing ailments, treating injuries, and saving lives. You also can move beyond routine:
Work at the best military medical facilities on shore, at sea, and in the field
Teach and mentor medical students, post graduate trainees, and more junior colleagues
Collaborate with fellow military doctors and other healthcare officers, and partner with International Relief Teams and organizations, such as FEMA, USAID, and Project Hope
Operate as a leader within your focus area and get exposure outside your specialty
Gain leadership and management experience that will serve you well throughout your medical and military career

US Navy Reserve Medicine
Serving part-time as a Reservist, your duties will be conducted during your scheduled drilling and training periods. During monthly drilling, Physicians in the Reserve typically drill at a location close to their homes. This gives the flexibility to expand your medical experiences in the Navy without compromising your civilian practice at home.
Most of what you do in the Navy Reserve is considered training. The basic Navy Reserve commitment involves training a minimum of one weekend a month (referred to as drilling) and two weeks a year (referred to as Annual Training) - or the equivalent.
Furthermore, serving as a Reservist physician allows for unique and exciting experiences beyond patient care. Career-long learning in areas within and beyond medicine is both the goal and expectation. You will have the opportunity to shape policy, teach, lead and mentor young men and women, and, if you choose to do so, potentially fly with aviators, sail on ships, dive with the submariners, and/or serve alongside Marines and special operators.
Pulmonary and Critical Care physicians serve essential roles as critical wartime specialists in the military healthcare system. Their efforts in our nation's conflicts have contributed to innovations and advancements in medical care because of their unique qualifications and training, military experiences and/or by their proximity to armed conflicts. These efforts have contributed to unprecedented survival rates in the recent Afghanistan and Persian Gulf conflicts. Pulmonologists and Intensivists also worked on the front lines of the Department of War's COVID-19 pandemic medical response.
For the required two week annual training, physicians may serve anywhere, whether at sea, in hospitals stateside, or in bases and camps in countries around the world.
Benefits include:
Repayment of qualified education loans to the lending institution, paid annually while serving
Annual bonuses for critical wartime specialists
Post 9/11 GI Bill (May transfer many of the benefits to immediate family members)
No-cost or low-cost medical and dental care for you and your eligible family members
Full Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Privileges (golf, gym, RV camping, movie theater, and discounted event tickets)
Stay at DoW lodging located on or near U.S. military installations for both duty and recreation
Military Commissary and Exchange Privileges
Space "A" Availability for Air Travel

Up to $250,000 in medical school loan repayment assistance
An immediate one-time sign-on bonus of up to $10,000
Navy Reserve Sailors joining the Navy Medical Corps as residents can get a monthly stipend in excess of $2,200 while completing their residency. Offers based on service commitment. For complete offer details, request a medical recruiter contact you.

Eligibility for board certification
Completion of at least one year of an approved graduate medical education program
Between 21 and 42 years of age (waivers may be granted on a case-by-case basis up to age 68)

For current or former Officers of military branches other than the Navy (OSVET), as well as for Officer candidates without prior military experience: Officer Candidates are required to attend Officer Development School (ODS) in Newport, RI. ODS is a five-week program that provides a comprehensive and intense introduction to the responsibilities of Navy Staff Corps Officers.

Beyond offering access to professional credentials and certifications, Navy technical and operational training in the culinary and hospitality fields can translate to credit hours toward a bachelor's or associate degree through the American Council on Education.
You may also continue your education through undergraduate degree opportunities like the Navy College Program and Tuition Assistance and the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
Qualifications & Requirements
A high-school diploma or equivalent is required to become an Enlisted Sailor and a Culinary Specialist.
In addition to an interest in nutrition and culinary arts, applicants should possess good arithmetic and verbal skills, creative ability and record-keeping skills.
Important personal traits for this role include the ability to follow instructions, perform detailed work, and cooperate well as part of a team. You should also enjoy working with people.
Culinary Specialists who wish to serve aboard submarines as a CSS must volunteer for submarine service.
General qualifications may vary depending upon whether you're currently serving, whether you've served before or whether you've never served before.
Part-Time Opportunities

Culinary Specialists in the Navy Reserve serve in an Enlisted role. Before receiving the ongoing professional training that comes with the job, initial training requirements must be met.
For current or former military Enlisted servicemembers, prior experience satisfies the initial Recruit Training requirement, so you will not need to go through Boot Camp again.
For those without prior military experience, you will need to meet the initial Recruit Training requirement by attending Boot Camp in Great Lakes, IL. This training course will prepare you for service in the Navy Reserve and count as your first Annual Training.

Bomb Technician (EOD)
🏢 US Navy
Salary not disclosed
INITIAL SUCCESS OR TOTAL FAILURE.
Americans celebrate fireworks on the 4th of July. The other 364 days, Navy EOD-the Navy's elite bomb squad-is working to prevent the ones that aren't for show. Armed with cutting-edge robotics and explosive disposal expertise, they take on missions that demand skill, precision, and absolute nerve-from parachuting into hostile territory to neutralizing underwater mines.
This isn't a job for the ordinary. It's for those who can think fast, stay calm, and operate under extreme pressure-because when it comes to explosives, there's no second chance.
