If I join the Army Reserves as a 70B, what can I expect once I get to my unit?

If you want a USAR job as a 70B, I would suggest becoming a PAD officer. Patient Admin is interesting and when needed for play or real patients, it is challenging.
Like the Cpt stated, once you are given a possession on the UMR you can start networking to find the job that best suits you.

I am currently talking to an AMEDD recruiter. I am trying to Direct Commission into as a 70B. I have 4 years prior service, NCOIC of my section as a CPL, Masters in Educational Psychology, BA in Neuroscience and finished first semester of an accelerated nursing course with a 3.4 GPA. Unfortunately, I cannot continue due to family and financial problems but I want to stay in healthcare and make a career out of the Army. Do these qualifications give me a chance at Direct Commission? Also, how could I go to active duty within this branch if 70B is only offered via NG and AR?

1LT(P) (Join to see) they do offer Direct Commissions for the Regukar Army, yetvthey are very limited and require an exception to policy. Another piece of bad news is that the Army Medical Department is being restructured. We are lossing 6,700 authorizations for the AMEDD (a combination Enlisted and Officers authorizations) which will be converted to Combat Arms MOS. The Medical Service Corps is lossing 270 Officer Vacancies as part of this restructuring. I think having a Masters and two bachelors (BS and Nursing?) is great and will strengthen your applications. Holding the NCOIC is great, did you ask for an optional NCOER as a CPL for that? If not, it will be hard to claim for your application. I’d keep working with your AMEDD Recruiter, or find away to get into an MHA program and apply for a two year ROTC Scholarship. That would help you get into the Medical Service Corps. OCS no longer commissions MSC. So again, MS/70B is not only offered by the USAR and ANG. It’s just hard to earn one for the Regular Army.

MAJ (Join to see) - Thank you sir. That was very helpful. All I have done so far is get my transcripts to the recruiter, Ill make sure to stay on this. I am not sure how long it will be before things can move forward.
How long has the Army Medical Department been under reconstruction? This is my first time hearing about it.
Also, I did not ask for anything. There was a spot that needed to be filled and as a Specialist I was acting NCOIC for about 6 months. Are you saying that I need to do NCOERs in order to claim being an NCOIC for my application?

Correct I am looking at AMEDD. Is DCC, and BOLC ran together? What I mean by that is after completing 4 weeks at Ft.Still will I go directly to BOLC training for 10 weeks or would I wait until a BOLC class is available? Trying to getting a better understanding of how long I'll be gone. With a wife and two young kids at home, I'm trying to get a better idea how long I am looking at being away for training before reporting to my unit here in my area.

James Conrad I totally get it. No they are not necessarily. You will have orders for each course cut at a different time and will return home in between. That’s not to say you might not leave again in 2/3 weeks for BOLC.

CPT (Join to see) - So after DCC, and BOLC is there any other training other than when you get to your unit for the 70B?

None after BOLC between 2LT and CPT, James Conrad. Depending on your desire to go, your job performance, and your school availability, you may be able to attend Captains Career Course (CCC) as a 1LT, but you’re at least 2yrs away from that time.

Remember though, as an army reservist, you’re subject to mobilization and deployment orders at any time after you complete BOLC.
