Civilian Equivalents

[DocTA]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there could be a section that goes into programs that we could do to get us certificates or equivalents so that we can use them in the civilian sector. I am by far not going to be leaving the military anytime soon but I would like to do some quals to write on my evals/packages and it does look good when applying to med school I assume.

I am a BLS Instructor, LVN, and HMSB Instructor but would like to put more things under my belt. I would have used the NAVY COOL programs but I often find it hard to navigate and since it is not specifically Corpsman related I don't find it as useful. It does not go in detail on where you would get training such as phlebotomy technician.

Thank you for the help.
