Calling Military Medicine Trailblazers, Workforce Innovators, and Pathway Builders!

What if a military medic or corpsman didn’t have to start over to build a civilian healthcare career?

The Virginia Department of Veterans Services is seeking a dynamic Military Medics and Corpsmen (MMAC) Program Lead to help turn military medical training and experience into meaningful pathways to civilian healthcare careers across the Commonwealth.

This is more than a program management role. You will bring together military talent, healthcare employers, colleges and universities, regulatory bodies, state agencies, and workforce partners to solve real barriers and build practical solutions. You will lead efforts to identify where military medical training can count toward academic credit, clinical requirements, credentials, and licensure—and help develop the referral systems and partnerships needed to make those pathways work.

You will lead the MMAC Program and its staff, strengthen career readiness and employment supports, expand clinical and educational pathways, and work with healthcare employers seeking to better recruit, train, and retain military-trained talent. You will also have an opportunity to contribute to legislative initiatives, regulatory discussions, and statewide work groups and help turn recommendations and policy changes into programs that work for veterans and Virginia's healthcare workforce.

The ideal candidate is a builder, collaborator, and problem-solver who can move comfortably between strategy and implementation. Whether your background is in military medicine, healthcare, workforce development, education, credentialing, or program leadership, you should be excited by the opportunity to bring the right people to the table, challenge unnecessary barriers, and build pathways that recognize the value of military experience.

If you are ready to help Virginia rethink how military medical experience becomes civilian healthcare opportunity, we want to hear from you.
