Our Biomedical Professionals are some of our most important assets. Optometrists have the opportunity to learn specialized subjects such as the effects of excessive g-forces on the eyes. Physician's Assistants might find themselves in settings different from anything ever experienced, and Public Health Professionals gain new skills in population health that are unavailable in the civilian sector. Social Workers will have the opportunity to develop crisis intervention procedures and techniques specific to military members and their families. Whether you are an Optometrist, Social Worker, Physician's Assistant or Public Health expert, we value your skills.
