Responsibilities
Hospital Corpsmen (HM)
Those in the Hospital Corpsman Advanced Technical Field go beyond
the duties of Hospital Corpsmen, working in austere and challenging
environments while saving lives. Each of the three classifications
has its own responsibilities:
Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman (SARC)
There are no part-time jobs available for this career track.
Work Environment
In medical support, you have the most diverse range of work
environments in the Navy. Your job will likely take you all over
the world-and far out of your comfort zone.
Hospital Corpsman (HM)
As a Hospital Corpsman, you could be assigned to a Navy medical
treatment facility, like an on-base hospital or clinic. You could
also work on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean, or a
submarine in the depths of the sea. You will work alongside Navy
nurses and other medical professionals to be trained as a skilled
first responder, whether your skills are needed bedside or in the
field.
Hospital Corpsman Advanced Technical Field (HM-ATF)
If you choose to go the Hospital Corpsman Advanced Technical Field
route, you will work in extreme and sometimes dangerous conditions.
From deep sea diving to combat missions to flying up in MH-60 Romeo
helicopters, you will train outside the realm of conventional
military forces to prepare for any mission. You may work
independent of a physician or under supervision in this
program.
Hospital Corpsman (HM)
Serving part-time as a Navy Reserve Sailor, your duties will be
carried out during your scheduled drilling and training periods.
During monthly drilling, Hospital Corpsmen in the Navy Reserve
typically work at a location close to their homes.
For Annual Training, Hospital Corpsmen may serve anywhere in the
world, whether on a ship at sea or bases and installations on
shore.

Training & Advancement
Hospital Corpsman (HM)
After you attend Boot Camp, you'll report to Fort Sam Houston, TX,
to attend "A" school for 14 weeks. Here, you'll develop a working
knowledge of basic principles and techniques of patient care and
first aid procedures in preparation for your first assignment.
Throughout your career, you'll have ample opportunity to gain
advanced medical skillsfrom radiology, to physical therapy, to
dental care, to heart surgery. These skills will be necessary to
maintain the physical health, and on occasion, save the lives of
Sailors and Marines across the fleet. You could even deploy
overseas with the Marines as a Fleet Marine Force Corpsman, which
requires specialty training.

Post-Service Opportunities
There's no better way to begin a successful career in healthcare
than by serving in the medical support division of America's Navy.
You'll receive training in everything from surgery to radiology,
physical therapy to respiratory medicine, and more. Beyond this,
you'll have many opportunities to get the hands-on experience and
credentials medical assistants require in the civilian world.
Hospital Corpsman (HM)
Most of what you do in the Navy Reserve is considered training. The
basic Navy Reserve commitment involves training a minimum of one
weekend a month (referred to as drilling) and two weeks a year
(referred to as Annual Training) - or the equivalent.
Hospital Corpsmen in the Navy Reserve serve in an Enlisted role.
Before receiving the ongoing professional training that comes with
the job, initial training requirements must be met.
For current or former military Enlisted service members: Prior
experience satisfies the initial Recruit Training requirement - so
you will not need to go through Boot Camp again.
For those without prior military experience: You will need to meet
the initial Recruit Training requirement by attending boot camp for
seven to nine weeks in Great Lakes, IL. This training course will
prepare you for service in the Navy Reserve and count as your first
Annual Training.
Promotion opportunities are regularly available but competitive and
based on performance. It's also important to note that specialized
training received and work experience gained in the course of
service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational
opportunities in related fields.
Post-Service Opportunities

than by serving in the medical support division of America's Navy.
