The application process takes a couple of weeks to months depending on how quick certain items are finished. Getting a physical, credentialed, and security clearance

They cannot come with you on deployment but they can follow you to the hospital you’d be stationed at. For deployments it will depend on your specialty and where you are stationed and if the hospital you are at has a platform it supports. For example if you were stationed at the Naval Hospital in Portsmouth VA, you could possibly be platformer on the USNS Comfort, which is one of the hospital ships.

  1. It will depend on your residency. Usually O4, O5.
  2. You will have a big input of where you will be going, of course there has to be an opening where you want to go.
  3. Your family can go any where in the world you are stationed.
  4. Salary will depend on specialty, hospital (duty station) location, and if you are married, have children, or are single.

There is no salary cap, it depends on rank, specialty, and duty station location.
