HEALTH CARE SPECIALIST (68W)

As a Soldier, you'll develop a number of strengths both physical and mental. As a Health Care Specialist, you'll need them all. Health Care Specialists are responsible for providing basic and emergency medical treatment in a hospital or in the field to sick and wounded Soldiers. Working with other medics, they learn a variety of techniques and treatments while earning the gratification of caring for Soldiers, civilians and family members, an experience you can only find in the Army.
