Why I Want To Be An Air Force Physician

Decent Essays
When I grow up I want to be a physician in the United States Air Force. Being an Air

Force physician is not for everyone; they have to be confident, respectful, humane, etc. I feel like

this job is the right fit for me because I love to help those in need and I like to feel that I could

make someones life better. A plus about being an Air Force physicians is that they live on the

base, which means patients can contact and get to me faster, that also means the patients will

feel more comfortable and be more open to me. Something I love about living on the base is that

not only am I taking care of the soliders but, I am aso taking care of thery’re families, it would be

such an honor to make sure thoses protacting the U.Ss’ famiies
…show more content…
A cool thing about my future career chose is that just because I am enrolling as a

doctor doesn’t mean my title could just be a physician, I can also be an Air Force Officer as

well.
As for salaries, after five years a physician earns 88,044 dollars annually and after 8

years, with an ISP and or MSP Bonus, physicians make 13,000 to 60,000 dollars annually.

What I love the most about becoming a physician in general is that it’s not going

to be the same thing every day. Ther are going to be multiple things you could do and multiple

patients wth different personalities to help. Many people (a.k.a my mom) Will probably say “You could do the same thing in the

civilian world” “ Or arnet you scared if something bad were to happen at te base?” My answers

are: A) Yes I could be doing the same thing in the civilian world howevr, I want to protect those

who are fighting for the people I love, I want to make sure their families are safe too. B) Yes I

am scared but, horrible things happen in the civilian world as well, they just don’t only happen at

Air Force bases. All in all I’m looking forward to “aiming high” with the Air

    A primary care physician is a doctor who provides regular medical care for his or her patients through routine exams and bloodwork. In this profession, a doctor often diagnose patients who share their complaints and as a result either suggest more care, such as seeing a specialist, or prescribing medicine or running additional tests.
