Emergency Medicine Physicians

Army 62A experience examining, diagnosing, and treating the initial phase of diseases and injuries directly overlaps civilian emergency medicine practice.

How to prepare: Review your medical education, specialty residency, and license records with the target state's medical board, then ask prospective hospitals to assess them for emergency department credentialing. All states require physician licensure, with requirements varying by state.

What the civilian work involves
  • Evaluate patients' vital signs or laboratory data to determine emergency intervention needs and priority of treatment.
  • Select, request, perform, or interpret diagnostic procedures, such as laboratory tests, electrocardiograms, emergency ultrasounds, and radiographs.
  • Stabilize patients in critical condition.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Epic Systems
