As a 68W who doesn't practice any medical skills in my civilian employment, it's always a goal to expand my skills and knowledge base. Are there additional specialized schools that are available to lower enlisted that would add to my skills pool? I once had an NCO who had an immunizations skill identifier but that's the only one I know of.

Y8 is an immunization-allergy specialist (clinical, lab)
N3 is the Army's Occupational Therapy Assistant (clinical)

Y2 is the code used to identify those who have not finished the upgrade classes

MSG (Join to see) I mean, most of these are wrong. They have been their own MOS in the 68 series for years now.

SPC (Join to see) there are only 3 ASI now. F2 Flight Paramedic. W1 Special Operations.
Y8 Allergy and Immunology. Everything else is it’s own MOS now.

The best thing about the medical field is there are many places to gain knowledge. Civilian certifications on your own time is great! Just ensure it benefits not only the patient but you in your civilian employment. But like the answer below. There are many schools available to lower enlisted. It just takes filling out the proper paperwork, supportive chain of command and you can do it.

Many of the 68W ASIs act more like SQIs, in the fact that they are used for assignment, rather than an "extra skill". W4, W1, F3 are the ones that will really change the career, but are probably the hardest to get without packets and tryouts
