WORK ENVIRONMENT
In medical support, you have the most diverse range of work
environments in the Navy. Your job will likely take you all over
the world-and far out of your comfort zone.
Hospital Corpsman (HM)
As a Hospital Corpsman, you could be assigned to a Navy medical
treatment facility, like an on-base hospital or clinic. You could
also work on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean, or a
submarine in the depths of the sea. You will work alongside Navy
nurses and other medical professionals to be trained as a skilled
first responder, whether your skills are needed bedside or in the
field.
Hospital Corpsman Advanced Technical Field (HM-ATF)
If you choose to go the Hospital Corpsman Advanced Technical Field
route, you will work in extreme and sometimes dangerous conditions.
From deep sea diving to combat missions to flying up in MH-60 Romeo
helicopters, you will train outside the realm of conventional
military forces to prepare for any mission. You may work
independent of a physician or under supervision in this
program.
TRAINING & ADVANCEMENT
Hospital Corpsman (HM)
After you attend Boot Camp, you'll report to Fort Sam Houston, TX
to attend "A" school for 14 weeks. Here, you'll develop a working
knowledge of basic principles and techniques of patient care and
first aid procedures in preparation for your first assignment.
Throughout your career, you'll have ample opportunity to gain
advanced medical skills from radiology, to physical therapy, to
dental care, to heart surgery. These skills will be necessary to
maintain the physical health, and on occasion, save the lives of
Sailors and Marines across the fleet. You could even deploy
overseas with the Marines as a Fleet Marine Force Corpsman, which
requires specialty training.

than by serving in the medical support division of America's Navy.

you'll have many opportunities to get the hands-on experience and
credentials medical assistants require in the civilian world.

certifications, Navy training in the field of medical support can
