You'll also train other Soldiers in lifesaver/first responder courses and provide care on base while not deployed.

 

Job Duties:

  • Administer emergency medical treatment to battlefield casualties.
  • Assist with outpatient and inpatient care and treatment.
  • Prepare blood samples for laboratory analysis.

Helpful Skills:  

  • Interest in helping and caring for others.
  • Ability to communicate effectively and work under stressful conditions.
  • Interest in chemistry, biology, psychology, general science, and algebra
  • High attention to detail

 

Future Civilian Careers:

The skills you learn will help prepare you for a career with civilian hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, or rehabilitation centers. With a background as a Health Care Specialist, you may consider a career as an emergency medical technician, medical assistant, medication aide, or physician assistant.

With continued study and experience, you may qualify for certification with the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians as a first responder.
