In this world, there are those who make a difference and those who don’t. A physician in the US Army has a demanding job in both war and peaceful times, in order to save lives and improve the health of other Army personnel.

Physicians in the military perform surgeries for non-emergencies like illnesses or minor injuries, conduct routine examinations, perform surgery work ups, and provide post-surgery care, as well as working closely with other military health professionals.

Physicians in the National Guard also conduct medical services for civilians. Just one physician can make a huge difference in hundreds of lives. So… what kind of hero will you be?
