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.

Medical Assistants

Assisting the submarine Independent Duty Corpsman with medical programs provides a foundation for civilian clinical support work.

How to prepare: Compare your documented military training and performed duties with medical assistant patient-intake and recordkeeping tasks to identify gaps for supervised practice.

What the civilian work involves
  • Interview patients to obtain medical information and measure their vital signs, weight, and height.
  • Record patients' medical history, vital statistics, or information such as test results in medical records.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Epic Systems

Notes & Sources

  • L01B qualification to assist with submarine medical and radiation health programs depends on completing both Radiation Health Technician school and Basic Enlisted Submarine School; the documented role is assistance to the Independent Duty Corpsman, not independent clinical practice.
