Career Description

The Air Force isn't just a branch of the military, it's a global family of Airmen living around the world with their spouses and children. And when it comes to caring for these families, the Air Force looks to the best and brightest Family Medicine Physicians in the world. You'll treat all ages just as you would as a civilian, but since your sole priority is patient care, you won't have to deal with insurance red tape or overhead expenses. At the end of the day, your job will be to ensure that every family member is just as healthy as the Airmen they live with.

Career Tasks

• Maintain comprehensive care for families that include preventive medicine services, behavioral health and community healthcare
• Formulate medical training programs and instruct both medical and nonmedical personnel on a variety of health-related topics
