EXPERIENCE

8/2007 - 8/2010
U.S Army Fort Stewart, GA
Health Care Specialist (68W Combat Medic)
My primary responsibility as a medic in the Army was to ensure the medical readi
ness of the soldiers under my medical supervision, which ranged from a platoon (
15-25 soldiers) to a company level (75-85 soldiers) as I progressed in rank. Whe
n deployed, I took part in over 150 combat missions and patrols where I would as
sume the responsibility of being the primary CASEVAC medic, who would be respons
ible for collecting battlefield casualties, applying life saving interventions,
and medical evacuation to a higher echelon of care. One of my secondary responsi
bilities while deployed was training the Iraqi Federal Police in basic life savi
ng techniques as well as evacuation procedures. All the above experience spanned
throughout my twelve month Iraq deployment.
When not deployed, I've worked in Troop Medical Centers as well as done rotation
s through Army hospitals assisting with outpatient and inpatient care and treatm
ent. Some of my other clinical responsibilities included interviewing patients a
nd recording their medical histories, keeping health records and clinical files
up-to-date, giving shots and medications to patients.
Aside from the medical portion of my military experience, I also learned the dis
ciplines and core values required to live a professional and active lifestyle.
