Pediatric Cardiologist

Army 60Q experience examining, diagnosing and treating children with cardiovascular disorders directly overlaps with civilian pediatric cardiology care.

How to prepare: Request a prospective employer's credentialing review of your medical degree, residency and pediatric cardiology fellowship records to identify any training gaps. Physician licensure is required in every state, so confirm the target state's requirements with its medical board.
