This is not true as a participant in the Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP), Financial Assistance Program (FAP) or the Nurse Candidate Program (NCP). If you are a medical, dental, physician assistant, nursing or optometry student, resident, or a practicing professional facing these issues, the Navy can help.
As a member of the Navy Medical Team, you will become part of a skilled, well-equipped team with an established practice, where you will get the opportunity to put your training to work. You’ll work with top health care professionals from across the country. Your equipment and malpractice insurance are covered by the Navy, and you’ll get the chance to provide clinical care, teach, perform research or explore new fields of health care.
After graduation, participants in these programs join the Navy Medical Team as Officers, with the opportunity to earn a competitive salary, regular promotions, comprehensive medical and dental coverage, low cost travel opportunities, excellent retirement and educational benefits, further training, and a rewarding clinical practice. Additional benefits include 30 days of paid vacation a year, use of military recreational facilities around the world, the opportunity to serve around the world in a variety of facilities, and be a part of supportive team of highly trained professionals.
