April 29, 2009 By admin

If you have an interest in the medical field, a career in the Army may be a viable career choice. The Army is looking for individuals with an interest in working in Army hospitals or in the medical field. After completing a 19 week basic training placement, recruits with an interest in medical training can be assigned to the following job training programs.

Operating Room Specialist

One of the possibilities when working in the medical field is working as an operating room specialist. Operating room specialists provide assistance when medical doctors are not available.

Additionally, operating room specialists monitor patients during and after medical procedures.

    I am a Medical Assistant and my heart and soul is to be in the Operating Room. It would be of such honor to assist in the Operating Room for our wounded soilders. Please contact me and help me become a member in the Army as a Operating Room Specialist. I have previous experience in so many medical fields including surgery, where I observed numerous surgerys and I knew that, that was my purpose in life. I am not sure in what exactly I need to do and what my options are, but i would love the chance to be part of my country.

    Hi, My name is allisyn smith, I am 15 years old and plan to join the army as well. I’ve always been interested in the medical field and i think that would make an awesome career. My family is big and will not have the money to help put me through college, but I believe that this would be a great alternative. I love helping people and would be honored to treat them. I am considering graduating high school as a junior to join the army and train in the medical field. I am wondering if joining that early would be a possibility and how to get extra information on enlisting. Please e-mail me information on how to accomplish this, it would help alot.
