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.

Family Medicine Physicians

Examining, diagnosing, and treating diseases and injuries while managing outpatient and ward services provides directly transferable experience for civilian primary care.

How to prepare: Ask a family medicine residency program and your intended state's medical board to assess your postgraduate training and licensure readiness. State licensure is required, and 44GX duties alone do not establish completion of a family medicine residency.

What the civilian work involves
  • Prescribe or administer treatment, therapy, medication, vaccination, and other specialized medical care to treat or prevent illness, disease, or injury.
  • Order, perform, and interpret tests and analyze records, reports, and examination information to diagnose patients' condition.
  • Monitor patients' conditions and progress and reevaluate treatments as necessary.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Epic Systems
  • eClinicalWorks EHR software
