  • Interest in helping and caring for others.
  • Ability to communicate effectively and work under stressful conditions.
  • Interest in chemistry, biology, psychology, general science, and algebra
  • High attention to detail

 

Future Civilian Careers:

The skills you learn will help prepare you for a career with civilian hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, or rehabilitation centers.
