- 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.
- MAJCOM or enterprise-level aerospace medicine experience.
- Previous experience reviewing medical waivers.
- Experience developing or interpreting Air Force medical policy.
- Prior operational medicine leadership experience.
- Support one of the Air Force's premier aerospace medicine missions.
- Monday-Friday federal schedule.
