Military Medics and Corpsmen (MMAC) Program

Attention Veterans and Military Spouses:
Your Path Is Clear To A Civilian Healthcare Career

How can the Military Medics and Corpsmen (MMAC) Program help you? Easy. Give us your employment and education goals. We’ll put you on the path to reach them. Looking to continue in patient care? Perhaps a non-clinical career that matches your military training and experience? Maybe a leadership role? Are you a Military Spouse seeking a position in Virginia’s healthcare system?

Whatever path you choose . . . we’ll clear it for you.

Path One: MMAC Qualified
Are you a veteran or transitioning Combat Medic/68W, Corpsman or Medical Technician/4N0X and it has been less than 12 months since you practiced hands-on clinical care? You may be MMAC Qualified. Only in Virginia you can continue to practice your clinical skills without the required civilian healthcare credentials – while you work to get those credentials. Keep skills sharp and credentialing on track with MMAC.

Path Two: No Veteran Left Behind
From HR to the ER or from PT to IT or engineering, healthcare needs people now with clinical and non-clinical military training and experience. Ever thought of a non-clinical role in HR, logistics or HVAC? We can help. Next to a patient, behind a desk, or on a ladder, we’ll help find your place in healthcare.

Path Three: Healthcare Leadership
Hospitals are like military installations. They need experienced leaders to keep things running efficiently and effectively. Are you that leader? From leading a practice or program, to managing safety, supply chain, infrastructure or information technology – if you are management material, we’ll help find your fit.

Path Four: Military Spouses
If you’re a Military Spouse looking to start or continue a career in Virginia’s healthcare system, you’ve come to the right place. We are advocates, an employment resource, and a source of credentialing information. MMAC sets you up for success and potential employment at MMAC Partner Healthcare Systems and Virginia Values Veterans Certified Healthcare Employers statewide. Spouses serve too. Let MMAC serve you.
