What if residency didn’t mean living on a resident’s salary alone?

Recipients of the Navy Financial Assistance Program (FAP) receive approximately $79,000 per year in Navy benefits on top of their residency salary (typically $67K–$76K, depending on program).

That means FAP can nearly double your income during residency — while you continue doing the same training and workload as your peers.

What’s the tradeoff?

Yes, there is a service commitment. In return for FAP support, physicians owe 3–5 years of active-duty service with Navy Medicine after training.

For many residents, it’s a worthwhile exchange:
• Reduce or eliminate student loan burden early
• Secure a guaranteed physician position
• Launch your attending career in locations such as Spain, Japan, Guam, San Diego, or Norfolk.

Residency is already demanding. Financial stress doesn’t have to be part of it.

If you’re a current medical resident and want to explore whether FAP aligns with your long-term goals, I’m happy to connect and walk you through the details.

If you're a certified Physician Assistant looking for a change of pace with real variety, solid benefits, and the chance to serve alongside some of the best teams out there—I've got a spot you might want to check out.

We're actively seeking sharp PAs to join the Navy's Medical Service Corps as commissioned officers. You'll handle everything from primary care and emergency cases to specialty rotations, often in unique settings: ships, clinics, forward-deployed units, or right here stateside.

It's meaningful work, great pay & perks and you get to wear the uniform while still doing what you love—taking care of people.

DM me if you're curious about the path (whether you're civilian, prior service, or active duty looking to commission). Happy to chat details or point you to the right folks⚓️💉

$800,000 BONUS.
🤯 Lump-sum payout. New 3-year obligation now available.

These are among the highest incentives the Navy has offered physicians and the 3-year path adds flexibility for those considering service.

Navy medicine offers exceptional leadership development and high-stakes clinical experience in mission-driven environments few other physicians encounter.

The Medical Corps advantage:

• Clinical autonomy: Focus on patients without insurance interference.

• High-stakes care: Lead teams and treat warfighters in operational settings.

• Unique opportunities: Aviation medicine with flight time, dive medicine with elite units, and deployments supporting Marines.

• Integrated lifestyle: Fitness, leadership, and professional growth built into the workday

You chose medicine to care for patients. You did not choose it to battle insurance denials. No other path combines this level of autonomy and adventure.

The real question is not the bonus. It’s whether the mission and environment align with your goals.

Does the new 3-year flexibility or increased incentives change your view on serving?

If you specialize, those numbers scale quickly:
- Critical Care Nurses: $100,000 bonus.
