00:00.844 --> 00:03.427
(upbeat music)

00:08.510 --> 00:12.640
- I joined the Navy 'cause I
wanted school to get paid for.

00:12.640 --> 00:17.550
I went to medical school at a
Uniformed Services University

00:17.550 --> 00:19.343
America's Medical School.

00:20.779 --> 00:24.820
And basically, I have
just enjoyed the journey.

00:24.820 --> 00:27.370
I've always meant to get out.

00:27.370 --> 00:30.560
And, just opportunities
kept presenting itself

00:30.560 --> 00:32.150
that I just couldn't turn down

00:32.150 --> 00:35.730
and I've ended up staying now 24 years.

00:35.730 --> 00:40.420
So if you, take a scholarship in the Navy

00:40.420 --> 00:44.520
and you decide that you want
to be a gastroenterologist

00:44.520 --> 00:49.520
or a allergist or a pulmonologist.

00:49.690 --> 00:51.090
What you would need to do is

00:51.090 --> 00:55.310
you would need to finish medical school.

00:55.310 --> 00:58.620
And then go ahead and get a complete,

00:58.620 --> 01:02.230
in internship and residency
in general internal medicine.

01:02.230 --> 01:03.530
And then that point in time,

01:03.530 --> 01:08.530
then reapply for a fellowship
in one of the subspecialties.

01:08.690 --> 01:11.700
The beautiful thing about the Navy is

01:11.700 --> 01:15.370
we aren't under the same
pressures as the civilian world.

01:15.370 --> 01:17.460
We don't have the same pressures

01:17.460 --> 01:20.308
and having worked on the outside as well.

01:20.308 --> 01:22.340
We are allowed,

01:22.340 --> 01:25.115
we are given more time, to train and teach

01:25.115 --> 01:29.760
and teach the interns
and teach the residents.

01:29.760 --> 01:34.760
You will be better
prepared for the outside,

01:35.123 --> 01:39.120
by training in the Navy because
we'll keep, we'll focus...

01:39.120 --> 01:41.953
We'll focus on on making sure

01:41.953 --> 01:43.600
you learn it right the first time.

01:43.600 --> 01:46.080
And I've always, when I
tell, when I talk to people,

01:46.080 --> 01:47.060
I always tell them

01:47.060 --> 01:49.000
there's multiple reasons to join the Navy.

01:49.000 --> 01:51.660
And any of these three
reasons are good you know,

01:51.660 --> 01:56.660
whether you joined because you
wanted your school paid for,

01:56.790 --> 01:57.623
good on you.

01:57.623 --> 01:59.230
I mean, you're still serving your country.

01:59.230 --> 02:00.820
We need people to help

02:00.820 --> 02:03.220
and do their part.

02:03.220 --> 02:05.780
If you join because you
want some adventure,

02:05.780 --> 02:07.560
you want to be a flight surgeon.

02:07.560 --> 02:09.700
You wanna be a dive medical officer.

02:09.700 --> 02:11.330
You wanna be a...

02:13.280 --> 02:14.920
You wanna be with the Marines,

02:14.920 --> 02:18.810
or you wanna be a medical
officer on a ship.

02:18.810 --> 02:20.400
Those are also great reasons.

02:20.400 --> 02:22.300
If you want to just get your training

02:22.300 --> 02:24.470
because we have good training.

02:24.470 --> 02:25.770
That's another great reason

02:25.770 --> 02:27.886
just because you want to be a good doctor.

02:27.886 --> 02:30.300
Those are the reasons why

02:30.300 --> 02:32.800
I would recommend you join
and consider the Navy.
