Recently discharged military medics across the country now have the opportunity to seek comparable employment with VA, thanks to a program which aims to integrate them as clinical staff in VA’s emergency departments. The program’s mission is twofold — to develop a pipeline of well-trained clinical staff into the VA and to cultivate a career transition for former medics into civilian employment in the medical career field.

In 2011, VA introduced a pilot program to explore a potential career field in its medical centers, the Intermediate Care Technician (ICT). The idea sprang from the department’s desire to recruit former military medics and corpsmen to capitalize on their tremendous knowledge, skills and experience. Beyond active duty there are few, if any, equivalent civilian health care positions that allow these Veterans to utilize their training without additional academic preparation.
