WORK ENVIRONMENTIn 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.TRAINING & ADVANCEMENTHospital Corpsman (HM)After you attend Boot Camp, you’ll report to Fort Sam Houston, TX to attend “A” school for 14 weeks.

Throughout your career, you’ll have ample opportunity to gain advanced medical skills from 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.Hospital Corpsman Advanced Technical Field (HM-ATF)After Boot Camp, you’ll report to Fort Sam Houston, TX to attend “A” school for 14 weeks.
