Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Medical and Health Services Managers

Planning, administering, and leading multidisciplinary biomedical and healthcare programs transfers directly to healthcare program management.

How to prepare: Prepare a program-management portfolio showing the healthcare activities you administered and the professional disciplines you coordinated. Employers typically seek healthcare administrative or clinical experience and a bachelor's degree, with some preferring a master's or accepting experience substitutions; nursing-home administration requires state licensure, and some other positions require an RN or social-worker license.

What the civilian work involves
  • Direct, supervise and evaluate work activities of medical, nursing, technical, clerical, service, maintenance, and other personnel.
  • Plan, implement, and administer programs and services in a health care or medical facility, including personnel administration, training, and coordination of medical, nursing and physical plant staff.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Microsoft Office software
