Cardiologists
Army 60H experience examining, diagnosing, and treating patients with cardiovascular disorders directly overlaps civilian cardiology practice.
How to prepare: Contact the target state's medical board to confirm your licensure status and any outstanding requirements, then assemble medical-degree, residency, and fellowship records for prospective employers' credentialing review. All states require physician licensure, with requirements varying by state.

- Advise patients and community members concerning diet, activity, hygiene, or disease prevention.
- Compare measurements of heart wall thickness and chamber sizes to standards to identify abnormalities, using the results of an echocardiogram.
