Continue serving the Air Force by applying your aerospace medicine expertise to evaluate accession medical qualification and waiver requests for future Airmen.

They thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where accuracy, organization, and timely case management directly contribute to the Air Force's accession mission.

- Participate in policy interpretation and implementation.
- Prepare medical summaries and consultation reports.

- Support enterprise-level aerospace medicine initiatives and special projects.
- Maintain accurate documentation and timely case processing.
Required Qualifications:
- Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO).
- Current unrestricted U.S. medical license.
- Board Certified in Aerospace Medicine, Occupational Medicine, Preventive Medicine, or another specialty meeting Air Force requirements.
- Minimum three (3) years serving as an Active Duty Military Flight Surgeon within the past fifteen (15) years.
- Experience applying military medical standards for accession, flying, and special operational duty evaluations.
Security Requirements
- Must be able to obtain and maintain installation access to Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph.
- Must be eligible for and maintain a Department of Defense Common Access Card (CAC).
- Must successfully complete the required Government suitability/background investigation (Tier 1) and all applicable security, HIPAA, Privacy Act, and cybersecurity training.

- MAJCOM or enterprise-level aerospace medicine experience.
- Previous experience reviewing medical waivers.
