- CPT Jeffrey Kiki - Family Practice Physician (61H)
CPT JEFFREY KIKI
Family Practice Physician (61H)
I'm Captain Jeffrey Kiki, a 61 Hotel (61H).
Sixty-one Hotel is a physician for the Army. I came in the Army by applying for the Health Professional Scholarship program. I realized the Army was a great choice for me, because it gave me the benefits that I needed.
One of the biggest benefits it provides you is that it pays for your medical school, books, fees and tuition, as well as coverage for your personal health insurance.
I think the Army gave me an education that I wouldn't have gotten on the outside. They threw me into so many situations that I learned to do it all.
And four years from now my commitment with the Army will be up, and I'll have a choice. The reason is Army doctors are really sought after. So my choice's are gonna be wide open.
The Army has been a great experience for me.
