Medical Oncologist
Army experience diagnosing adult diseases and treating or recommending treatment for neoplastic and malignant disorders directly overlaps civilian cancer care.
How to prepare: Arrange a review of your residency and fellowship records with a prospective oncology employer's credentialing office to identify any training or credentialing gaps. Civilian practice requires state physician licensure, so confirm the target state's requirements with its medical board.
What the civilian work involves
- Evaluate patients and develop cancer treatment plans.
- Administer systemic cancer therapies and coordinate multidisciplinary care.
