military medicine

"From the first American military engagements at Lexington and Concord to the hills and mountains of Afghanistan, then on to the fight against Covid-19, America's frontline medical teams have braved arrows, bombs, bullets, and potentially fatal disease to do their job. They have always gone the extra mile to be there for others, and if need be, sacrifice their own lives. These are their stories related in gruesome detail"--Provided by publisher.

When considering career options, working for one of the world's largest employers-the US military-deserves consideration. This is especially true for young people thinking about a career in health care. Whether performed by someone who is enlisted, an officer or a reservist, armed forces health care jobs can be found on military bases in clinics, hospitals and laboratories, and aboard ships, submarines, helicopters and airplanes. Such jobs provide an opportunity to serve the troops and the country at the same time-to play a part in the readiness of America's military personnel around the world.
