68W can lead to many career opportunities, in and out of the Army. AIT you will earn your EMT-B, then move on to combat medic specific training. Over your first 4 years, start exploring your options as a flight medic, W1 medic, or some ASIs.

Depending on your passion for medicine, you may want to explore options as an Army nurse. I am currently doing the AECP program where you can finish your BSN then commission as a nurse (where you will have a service obligation of 4 years after completion), this way you can further your career in medicine.

Some medics never see combat or even work in a hospital or clinic. The training is great and you’ll learn excellent skills, but you can’t guarantee where you’ll end up. My first year was with a medical battalion and I didn’t get an opportunity to apply my skills until I deployed.

AIT is tough it takes a lot of studying. Remember your ABCs. Get some EMS training before you go
