How often do you deploy? You mentioned the tours you did in your video (as well as the dwell time considerations) but do you typically deploy every year? Thank you!
Can you share more information on physicians attached to special operations? How does one set themselves up to be a physician for special operations or an FST? Thanks
FSTs use critical wartime specialties. Surgery, EM, primarily and the Navy deploys CRNAs to the team. There aren't a lot of forward deployed billets for anesthesiologists. Same with JMAU. They currently use CRNAs. The patient population is extremely healthy trauma cases. Additionally, there is an added component of ICU nursing. JMAU uses ortho, ER, and surgery in terms of physicians.
in the military what is the education requirements? i know the normal requirements is 4 years of college, 4 years of med school and one year to specialize in your own field of preference. Is the army different, do you have to go that long?
All doctors got to medical school. See he either did it before commissioning or did an enlisted to med school program. But you would need college degrees for both
I wanted to see if I could get your thoughts on residencies in the Navy. I'm currently an active duty Corpsman and applied to a program through USUHS to go from enlisted to medical school. One topic that's been difficult for me to get a straight answer on, even when talking to active duty Navy physicians, is the Navy's match process. When compared to the other military services, the navy seems to send a larger number of its Sailors out to the fleet to complete a GMO tour. I've been in the Navy for a while now and if I get into this program I would prefer to start residency immediately after my intern year and not go do a GMO tour. Do you have any advice or recommendations on getting into a residency program right after med school? I know this may vary depending on specialty but I was just looking for some general advice. (Sorry for the long-winded comment).
Yes! I completely agree. I did not want to delay my specialty training to do GMO. A lot depends on what you want to specialize in. They are opening more spots for critical wartime specialties (Surgery, anesthesia, crit care). There is still a fair amount of luck and competition when it comes to who goes straight through and who has to do GMO. I would strongly recommend a civilian deferment to train on the outside and then coming back in as an attending to complete your service commitment.
@@StevenBradleyMD Currently at the top of my list are a couple surgical specialties and anesthesia is up there as well so maybe that'll work in my favor. I see the value in a GMO tour, I just think that I'm at a point in my career where I'd rather just go straight through and do my training. I haven't thought a whole lot about doing a civilian residency, I guess I just figured the years towards retirement while doing a military residency would make more sense but maybe I'll look into doing my training on the civilian side.
How are you, I’m a 17 year old high school student and I’m looking to pursue anesthesiologist in the army after college. May we contact via email or text?
Hey Dr. Bradley, thanks for uploading this series I have a USUHS interview coming up and your content is a big help.
Awesome! So glad it's helpful!
@@StevenBradleyMD Hey Dr. Bradley, I got in last week! Thanks for your videos, I felt they helped a lot during the interview.
More videos in this series, please and thank you!!
We were in GTMO at the same time!
No way!! small world!
Please make more videos, thank you!
I will! Whenever life starts to slow down a bit more! :/
Can you make a video or guest appearance of a Navy CRNA?
Greetings from Africa

Are you paid by the hospital and rank? That’s for all you do too 💕
Great Video. It answered a lot of questions I have been wondering about. Just curious, did you do your residency in the Navy as well?
I did residency at a civilian program.

It’s the same. The military/DOD has no control over the requirements to obtain a medical license and residency training.
@@doc_b_rad_anesthesia5957 thank you
How did you manage getting anesthesiologist job in the military? ASVAB score?
All doctors got to medical school. See he either did it before commissioning or did an enlisted to med school program. But you would need college degrees for both

Great! Glad to help.

👍🏾
It really seems like a busy schedule
It certainly can be at times.
