Career Description
The Air Force isn\'t just a branch of the military, it\'s a global family of Airmen living around the world with their spouses and children. And when it comes to caring for these families, the Air Force looks to the best and brightest Family Medicine Physicians in the world. You\'ll treat all ages just as you would as a civilian, but since your sole priority is patient care, you won\'t have to deal with insurance red tape or overhead expenses. At the end of the day, your job will be to ensure that every family member is just as healthy as the Airmen they live with.
Career Tasks
•Maintain comprehensive care for families that include preventive medicine services, behavioral health and community healthcare
•Formulate medical training programs and instruct both medical and nonmedical personnel on a variety of health-related topics
•Partner with civilian facilities where services are unavailable
Relevant Interests & Skills
You might like this career if you have interests in these areas:
•Health and Medicine
•Natural Science
•Business Operations and Administration
Becoming a Direct Commission Officer
To ease your transition into the Air Force, you\'ll enter a five-week training regimen designed to educate you on the ways of both the military and military healthcare. You\'ll participate in physical conditioning five days a week, leadership training and classroom studies.
