Still Paying Off Your Student Loans?
Medical training doesn’t come cheap. Anyone who has had the diligence and determination to successfully complete medical school knows all too well the personal and financial costs involved with developing this rewarding career. If you are still paying off your graduate school student loans, the Navy is prepared to pay off up to $40,000 of your loans in exchange for your service agreement.
In addition to assisting you with your current medical school debt, the Navy will provide you with cutting edge continuing education opportunities in order to ensure that Armed Forces personnel and their families are receiving the very best medical care possible. You can become a part of this prestigious team with a single phone call.
Private Practice Vs. A Military Career
Doctors in private practice are constantly faced with a mountain of documentation and insurance company formalities and requirements. While your case files must be kept accurate and up-to-date, many of the civilian requirements do not exist in a military medical career. This will free you to spend more time with your patients and developing your medical skills.
As a Navy doctor, you will become the person you went to medical school to become. You will be physically fit, professionally challenged and publically appreciated and admired. Whether you are treating the troops or providing aid to victims of natural disasters, your job as a Navy doctor will garner you the respect and appreciation of thousands. You will travel the world, learning about new cultures, new medical techniques and your own potential to work in a variety of environments.
What About Your Family?
A medical career can be very hard on your family. Late nights, emergency calls and long hours often take you away from the ones you love. Military families are very familiar with these circumstances and the military community has a strong focus on caring for those “left behind.” Your children will be able to attend excellent schools where negative behaviors simply are not tolerated, unlike public schools. Community events, sports teams for children and adults, volunteer opportunities, civic clubs and support groups are found on every military base around the world.
Unlike civilian society, where the families of those who work long hours are often isolated, the families of military personnel find themselves included in the community in which they find themselves from the very day they move in. The camaraderie of military personnel is shared on a very intimate level with their families. Your spouse and children will not lack for anything as you care for those in need.
