Specialty Areas
Navy Medicine has an extremely wide range of specialties, as varied in the Navy as is in the civilian sector. We need medical professionals who can treat our Sailors and keep them healthy the same way you do with civilians and their families.
The Medical Corps comprises Physicians from every kind of specialty. From general surgery to family medicine to psychiatry, the Navy relies on the best of the best to keep our fleet healthy.
In the Navy Nurse Corps, specialties are again as unique as what you’d find in the civilian world. Critical care nurses serve in emergency situations in hospitals, on ships and in the field. Labor and delivery nurses help bring new life into the world at any of our facilities where Navy families are stationed worldwide. The opportunities are endless for nurses searching for a career with purpose.
The broad range of careers in the Medical Service Corps gives this community a unique perspective in the Navy. Made up of specialists like optometrists, clinical psychiatrists, social workers and microbiologists, this group ensures that Sailors maintain their health, have access to the latest research and are administratively cared for in Navy Medicine.
The Dental Corps keep our Sailors smiling, with specialties ranging from general dentistry to oral surgery to endodontics. Officers in the Dental Corps might be stationed at hospitals, duty stations or even on aircraft carriers — where they will be caring for over 5,000 Sailors.
Robust Research Opportunities
In Navy Medicine, research is at the forefront of our mission. Our teams of medical professionals specialize in a wide variety of research operations, not only in the U.S., but also abroad.
You might find opportunities in combat casualty care, infectious disease research, behavioral health, and even bioeffects risk mitigation and countermeasures. We also actively support warfighter health, readiness and operational support by exploring human performance in military expeditionary environments spanning aerospace, submarine service, diving and land domains.
