Hey y'all,

I am trying to consider all of my options for my jobs before I put them in. Does anyone know if there is a hospital admin job available to officers? I believe I have a friend that went in to this field, but I have not been able to get in touch with him. If anyone has some information on this, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

Yes, the pure hospital administrator AOC is a 70A. These officers are groomed to be hospital COOs/CEOs. To become a 70A, MOST Hopefuls are graduates from the Army Baylor MBA/MHA program.

However as a newly commissioned administrative officer, you will be a 70B. A 70Bs title fluctuates according to their environment. In a hospital setting a 70B is known as a healthcare administration assistant. In a field environment a 70B is known as a field medical assistant. Essentially 70B is a jack of all trades master of none.

The goal of all 70Bs is to NOT be a 70B. All 70Bs must "grow up" and decide what administrative/clinical path they want to pursue. The Medical Service Corps will give you UP TO 8 years to decide before they decide for you (usually 70H/70K).

I was a 70B for 3 years in an INF BDE and I was a 70D (Medical IT/CIO) for 3 years at a hospital before I went clinical. I've been a MSC for 9 years and I believe Aglahad is a newly commissioned 70B at OBC. I figure between the two of us we can answer any question you have about the medical service corps.

Mabry is spot on. I am actually a 66H but in a 70B type role. We also go to the same BOLC. Most 70Bs want to go 70A and a lot end of up 70 H/K (70E looks boring IMO)as Mabry said.

If you have any questions I can answer the basics and Mabry can follow up with more detailed explnations

70E isn't too bad and is more healthcare centric than most of the admin AOCs. So if you're a 66H in a BDE setting are you a BDE nurse? If so, the AMEDD is doing you a disservice. A 66Hs first assignment really needs to be in a MEDDAC/MEDCEN.

I'm reserves if I was active I would most definitely be in MTF as a first assignment. The niche jobs far 66H don't start till CPT

Reserve AMEDD is weird to me...

How does a 66H fill a 70B slot?

We don't do clinical work for drills so 66Hs can get tasked for evac PL, s-shop and other taskings that are traditional 70B roles. It's not reflected on the actual UMR but I don't do anything nursing. Everything I have learned about the 70B role at BOLC is similar to what Ill be doing.

MEDEVAC PL was my first job. God I loved it! It was such an adrenaline rush! Are you in a reserve BSB or CSH? Since 66H is the nurse corps version of a 70B, what do you want to be when you grow up?

If not 62A then 66F or 66HM5/8A!
 
66F is competitive, but is very profitable in the civilian sector.
62A's schedule is too hectic (no life)
M5 (see 62A), plus they stay deployed don't they?
8A - isn't that similar to an ICU nurse or is that a separate AOC?


For those of you who don't speak Army Medical:

I like the adrenaline rush and pace of the ER/ICU and I wouldn't mind getting deployed. The 8A identifier is ICU, a couple years ago they were going to combine M5 and 8A into 66T (Trauma) but I think the idea got scrapped with the budget cuts and the cost for a combined school.

What exactly do you mean by clinical? What are the educational opportunities after deciding between admin/clinical?
