VA Careers Home - Page Not Found

I was a Hospital Corpsman with a Basic Medical Lab specialty wish I had known about this back when I got out, a lot of good it will do me know that I have forgotten most of what I learned

Also look at this https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4664494/.

I appreciate everyone's positive comments regarding the IHT program. If every vet who now uses the VA will advocate for the expansion of the effective use of former Military Medics and Corpsman (MMAC's) that would be excellent.

Also, please share with your civilian healthcare or VA health providers, especially Dr's & nurses, especially those who may have served with and supervised (lead) MMACs in the military in field hospitals, aboard ships, with the Marines, on flight lines, etc. who know their worth and are also willing to advocate for their skills as technical healthcare specialist, then please get the word out.

Finally, take a look at what Virginia is doing as a 1st in the nation program regarding MMACs. http://www.dvs.virginia.gov/education-employment/military-medics-and-corpsmen-program/.

If you live in Virginia, NC, MD, TN, or WVa and want to be part of the DVS MMAC process contact them! Also, please write to Dr. Jennifer Lee, who is currently the Deputy Under Secretary for Health for Policy and Services (10P), Veterans Health Administration. Dr. Lee pioneered making people aware of the need to engage MMAC's more in the VA Healthcare. See this link to learn more:

In short, MMACs have an advocate at the highest level. We as a community should let the VA know to expand this program and offer ways to engage more of our fellow MMAC's in service to our fellow vets and fellow non-vet citizens.
