Do medical assistants in the Us Navy have to go through basic training? I thought that all medical personel didn't have to go through basic training.

are you referring to enlisted HMs or Officers such as Nurses, PAs or doctors? each do go through some sort of initial training, although the exact type varies.
HMs do full 9 week Boot camp then on to A school. officers must already have their degree in hand, passed their boards,etc and be selected for a commissioning. then they attend OIS, a 6 week course in Rhode Island that teaches them the basics.. the uniform, saluting, paperwork the Navy way, etc. oh ea, and there IS PT involved with OIS just like Boot Camp.

All Hospital Corpsmen (Navy doesn't have "medical assistants") in the Navy go through basic training (boot camp) first. They then have to attend a Class "A" training school to enter the Hospital Corps. Some also go on to a Class "C" school to learn a particular speciality like laboratory technican and the like. Some attend a Class C school in Field Medical Service, which includes Marine infantry training.
It is doctors, dentists, nurses and allied health professionals of the Medical Department who do not have to go through basic training. They attend various officer orientation courses.

Everyone in the Navy has to go through training to learn how to be a sailor. Officer go through OCS, enlisted go to RTC. Otherwise, you'd get to the fleet and be useless, since everyone on a ship has collateral duties in regards to keeping the ship functional, everyone has a duty station during GQ, firefighting, damage control..etc

attempt Monster - I see a good number of protection force-kind jobs marketed by ability of there. i can not undergo in concepts if there have been any of *that* kind especially, even though it sounds like recruiting has lengthy gone hi-tech. wish that facilitates some. As I keep in mind, it remains a loose website to sign in on - although you probable are waiting to pay for better good factors.
